low 3.7 CVE-2026-92965 · published 2026-09-20

Missing authorization check in TikTok (1.2.0 up to (not including) 1.4.2)

Affected: 1.2.0 up to (not including) 1.4.2
Fixed in: 1.4.2
Access needed (per CVSS): No login needed
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by CISA ADP

Details from the advisory

The TikTok WordPress plugin before 1.4.2 does not check that a request is authorised before acting on a sign-in code supplied in the URL, so any visitor can make the site redeem a code of their choosing against the advertising platform, using the site's own credentials. It matches that code loosely, so URLs that merely resemble the expected one trigger it too, and the callback runs on every request to the site rather than only on the administrator's sign-in.

NVD CVE-2026-92965 WPScan advisory

medium 5.3 CVE-2026-18346 · published 2026-09-19

Missing authorization check in TikTok (1.4.1 and older)

Affected: 1.4.1 and older
Fixed in: 1.4.2 *
Access needed (per CVSS): No login needed
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by Wordfence

Details from the advisory

The TikTok plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.1. 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 overwrite the merchant's stored TikTok integration access token in wp_options, hijacking the site's TikTok Business and product catalog integration. Successful exploitation requires the attacker to supply a valid TikTok OAuth auth_code issued for the merchant's registered TikTok app, as the plugin's token exchange must receive a message='OK' response from TikTok's API before the stored access token is overwritten.
