CVE-2026-117490 PUBLISHED

Flatsome < 3.20.13 - Contributor+ Post Type and Status Overwrite via ux_builder_save

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 27.10.2026 Published: 14.11.2026 Updated: 14.11.2026

The Flatsome WordPress theme before 3.20.13 does not enforce the acting user's publish and post-type restrictions on an AJAX save action, allowing users with a role as low as Contributor to publish their own content and change its post type (for example to a product) without holding the required capabilities.
