- CVE-2026-11801, 18 Aug 2026
- The WPAdverts - Classifieds Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.2. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve internal site configuration data exposed by the classifieds-types REST endpoint, including registered post types, labels, associated taxonomies, form scheme metadata, contact options, and custom field meta keys. CVE record
- CVE-2024-10890, 21 Nov 2024
- The WPAdverts - Classifieds Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add_query_arg & remove_query_arg without appropriate escaping on the URL in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.7. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. CVE record

What to do if you run WPAdverts
If you run WPAdverts, open WordPress and check the installed version in Plugins. Compare it with the affected versions in the vulnerability record. If a fixed version is available, take a current backup and update to that version or the latest supported release.
