CVE-2026-13250 solacewp CVE debrief

Who should care

Administrators of WordPress sites using the Solace Extra plugin should verify their site's exposure and update to a patched version if necessary. They should also review site content for unauthorized deletions and implement additional monitoring for suspicious activity.

Technical summary

The Solace Extra plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to improper verification of user authorization. This allows unauthenticated attackers to delete posts, pages, media attachments, WooCommerce products, taxonomy terms, and sitebuilder templates. The vulnerability is caused by the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. Evidence from Wordfence security reports and WordPress plugin repository indicates that unauthenticated attackers can permanently delete content previously imported via the Starter Template feature. The required nonce is emitted on every wp-admin page via wp_localize_script() hooked to admin_enqueue_scripts without a page guard, making it reachable by fully unauthenticated users. Defenders should verify the integrity of their site content and review logs for unauthorized deletions.

Defensive priority

Medium priority due to potential for site content deletion.

Recommended defensive actions

• Verify and update Solace Extra plugin to a patched version
• Review site content for unauthorized deletions
• Implement additional monitoring for suspicious activity
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
