CVE-2026-5727 PUBLISHED

Hello Plus <= 1.7.7 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Missing Authorization to Template Activation via hello_plus_set_as_entire_site

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 07.04.2026 Published: 10.10.2026 Updated: 10.10.2026

The Hello Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.7. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to publish their own Hello+ header/footer templates and draft currently active templates owned by higher-privileged users.
