CVE-2026-1640

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Taskbuilder – WordPress Project Management & Task Management plugin versions prior to 5.0.3

Description The Taskbuilder plugin for WordPress is affected by an authorization bypass issue. Insufficient authorization checks on project and task comment submission functions allow authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to create comments on any project or task, even those they are not authorized to view. Attackers can inject arbitrary HTML and CSS through the comment body parameter via the wppm submit proj comment and wppm submit task comment AJAX actions.

Recommendations Update Taskbuilder – WordPress Project Management & Task Management plugin to version 5.0.3 or later.
