Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-23806 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Jobs for WordPress plugin by BlueGlass Interactive AG. The issue resides in the job-postings component and allows exploitation of incorrectly configured access control security levels. It affects all versions of the plugin from n/a through 2.8 inclusive. The vulnerability was published on 2026-03-25 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), rated as high severity due to its network accessibility and confidentiality impact.
Unauthenticated attackers (PR:N) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and without requiring user interaction (UI:N). Successful exploitation results in high confidentiality impact (C:H), enabling unauthorized access to sensitive data protected by the flawed access controls, while integrity and availability remain unaffected (I:N/A:N).
