CVE-2026-2257

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GetGenie plugin for WordPress versions through 4.3.2

Description The GetGenie plugin for WordPress is susceptible to an Insecure Direct Object Reference issue due to missing validation on a user-controlled key within the action function. This allows authenticated attackers with Author-level access or higher to modify post metadata for any post. The lack of input sanitization, combined with this issue, can lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting when a user with higher privileges, such as an Administrator, views the "Competitor" tab in the GetGenie sidebar of an affected post. The vulnerable parameter is a user-controlled key used in the action function.

Recommendations Update the GetGenie plugin to a version later than 4.3.2.
