CVE-2026-3645
No known patch is available for this vulnerability.
The affected plugin has been removed from the WordPress.org directory (reason: Security Issue), and no patched version is being distributed through the official directory. If you have the affected software installed, you should uninstall or replace it rather than wait for an update.
Description
The Punnel – Landing Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.1. The save_config() function, which handles the 'punnel_save_config' AJAX action, lacks any capability check (current_user_can()) and nonce verification. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite the plugin's entire configuration including the API key via a POST request to admin-ajax.php. Once the API key is known (because the attacker set it), the attacker can use the plugin's public API endpoint (sniff_requests() at /?punnel_api=1) — which only validates requests by comparing a POST token against the stored api_key — to create, update, or delete arbitrary posts, pages, and products on the site.
