CVE-2026-92435
The Mailchimp for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before version 6.1.1 fails to properly verify user capabilities within the permission callbac
Overview
The Mailchimp for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before version 6.1.1 fails to properly verify user capabilities within the permission callbacks for multiple REST API routes. This oversight allows unauthenticated attackers to access administrator-oriented endpoints and make persistent state changes.
Description
The Mailchimp for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 6.1.1 does not verify that the requesting user holds the required capability in the permission callback for several of its REST API routes, allowing unauthenticated users to reach administrator-oriented endpoints and trigger a persistent state change.
Impact
This vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity by exposing administrative endpoints to unauthenticated users, potentially allowing unauthorized state modifications. Website administrators and site owners face a moderate risk of unauthorized configuration changes or data exposure within the affected WordPress environment.
Remediation
Update the Mailchimp for WooCommerce plugin to version 6.1.1 or later where the missing permission callback checks have been resolved. Regularly audit WordPress REST API access logs for unusual requests directed at plugin-specific endpoints, and enforce the principle of least privilege across all user roles.
Risk context
This vulnerability is rated as medium severity with a CVSS score of 5.3 and a low EPSS score of 0.00136. While it requires no authentication, remediation can be achieved promptly by applying the vendor-supplied plugin update.
