CVE-2026-12083: Unknown Admin-Site-Enhancements-Pro

High severity, CVSS 8.1. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) WordPress plugin before 8.8.4, admin-site-enhancements-pro WordPress plugin before 8.8.4 does not perform authentication, authorization, or nonce checks on a role-restoration request handler, allowing unauthenticated attackers to restore a previously demoted administrator account back to the administrator role. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2024-43333 / CVE-2025-24648, which closed the issue for only one of the demotion paths the WordPress role API exposes.

Affected products

• Unknown Admin-Site-Enhancements-Pro: from 7.6.3, before 8.8.4 (fixed in 8.8.4)
• Unknown Admin And Site Enhancements Ase: from 7.6.3, before 8.8.4 (fixed in 8.8.4)
