CVE-2026-11818 arraytics CVE debrief

The WPCafe – Restaurant Menu, Online Food Ordering & Table Booking System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.14. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to list, create, update, delete, clone, and bulk-delete notification flow workflows that are intended to be managed only by administrators. The vulnerability has a medium priority due to the potential for authenticated attackers to perform unauthorized actions.

Who should care

Users of WPCafe – Restaurant Menu, Online Food Ordering & Table Booking System plugin for WordPress, especially those with subscriber-level access and above, should be aware of this vulnerability and take necessary actions to protect their sites. This includes updating to a patched version, restricting access to sensitive workflows, and monitoring for suspicious activity.

Technical summary

The WPCafe plugin does not properly verify user authorization, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access to manage notification flow workflows intended for administrators. The vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 3.0.14 and is due to insufficient checks, with only a wp_rest nonce check in place, which can be obtained by any logged-in user. This could lead to unauthorized actions being performed, including listing, creating, updating, deleting, cloning, and bulk-deleting notification flow workflows.

Defensive priority
