CVE-2026-84023
The BEAR WordPress plugin before 1.2.2 does not verify a CSRF nonce or check user capabilities before updating taxonomy terms, allowing an attacker to modify arbitrary terms by tricking a logged-in privileged user into visiting a crafted page.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
