CVE-2026-1499
WP Duplicate <= 1.1.8 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Upload via 'process_add_site' AJAX Action
The WP Duplicate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization leading to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions up to and including 1.1.8. This is due to a missing capability check on the process_add_site() AJAX action combined with path traversal in the file upload functionality. This makes it possible for authenticated (subscriber-level) attackers to set the internal prod_key_random_id option, which can then be used by an unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication checks and write arbitrary files to the server via the handle_upload_single_big_file() function, ultimately leading to remote code execution.
