CVE-2026-111631
Distributor before 2.3.2 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows Contributor-level users to invoke external connection AJAX actions intended for manage_options users.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.24%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Distributor before 2.3.2 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows Contributor-level users to invoke external connection AJAX actions intended for manage_options users. Attackers can call dt_verify_external_connection with a chosen endpointId and url to send stored connection credentials to attacker-controlled servers, or abuse dt_begin_authorization to create connections.
