CVE-2026-5093
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The GreenShift – Animation and Page Builder Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data in versions up to, and including, 12.8.9. This is due to a missing capability check on the 'gspb_update_global_wp_settings' function that only verifies the 'edit_posts' capability instead of requiring administrative privileges. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to modify global WordPress theme color settings site-wide, leading to site defacement.

"value": "El plugin GreenShift - Animation y Page Builder Blocks para WordPress es vulnerable a la modificación no autorizada de datos en versiones hasta la 12.8.9, inclusive. Esto se debe a una falta de verificación de capacidad en la función 'gspb_update_global_wp_settings' que solo verifica la capacidad 'edit_posts' en lugar de requerir privilegios administrativos. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de colaborador y superior, modifiquen la configuración global de colores del tema de WordPress en todo el sitio, lo que lleva a la desfiguración del sitio."
