CVE-2026-2941: Plugli Linksy Search And Replace

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Linksy Search and Replace plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'linksy_search_and_replace_item_details' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update any database table, any value, including the wp_capabilities database field, which allows attackers to change their own role to administrator, which leads to privilege escalation.

Affected products

• Plugli Linksy Search And Replace: up to and including 1.0.4
