Vulnerability in Awesome Support (WordPress plugin) (CVE-2026-19946)
Summary
Vulnerability in Awesome Support (WordPress plugin) (CVE-2026-19946). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
The Awesome Support plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 6.3.9. This is due to a missing capability check on the wpas_do_mr_deny_user() function, which unlike its counterpart wpas_do_mr_activate_user() does not enforce current_user_can('edit_users') or current_user_can('edit_user', $user_id), relying solely on a nonce that is not scoped to the target user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to set the mr_user_denied flag on any user account — including administrators — permanently blocking their moderated activation and dispatching a denial notification email to the victim.
