Overview

CVE-2026-18480 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 6, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

The SureCart WordPress plugin before 4.6.3 does not ensure that the account affected by a customer update is the same account its permission check authorised, allowing users with a subscriber-level account to change another user's email address, including an administrator's, and take over that account via a password reset. It further allows an attacker-controlled customer record to be associated with an arbitrary user, and discloses customer identifiers and email addresses to any authenticated user, which together make the takeover reachable from a subscriber-level account alone.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
