CVE-2026-18046 PUBLISHED

Cookie Consent < 0.0.10 - Subscriber+ MaxMind License Key Update

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 28.07.2026 Published: 12.08.2026 Updated: 12.08.2026

The Cookie Consent WordPress plugin before 0.0.10 does not correctly enforce its intended administrator-only capability check on the REST route that stores its geolocation service license key, so the route falls back to an authentication-only gate, allowing any authenticated user such as a subscriber to overwrite the stored key and disrupt the Cookie Consent WordPress plugin before 0.0.10's geolocation-based consent banner targeting.
