CVE-2026-28556

MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 0.22%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.22%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

wpForo Forum 2.4.14 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated subscribers to move, merge, or split any forum topic via the topic_move, topic_merge, and topic_split form action handlers. Attackers with a valid form nonce can reorganize arbitrary forum content without moderator permissions, including relocating topics to private forums.
