CVE-2026-91078 TillKit CVE debrief

Who should care

Defenders of WordPress sites using the TillKit plugin should assess exposure and prioritize remediation based on the CVE Program and NVD records. This includes operators, platform administrators, vulnerability management teams, and security teams responsible for ensuring the security and integrity of customer and site-user personal data and store data.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-91078 allows unauthenticated attackers to access privileged POS sessions in TillKit WordPress plugin versions before 1.0.5, enabling data theft and modification

• Unauthenticated attackers can obtain a privileged POS session
• Read customer and site-user personal data
• Modify store data without authentication

Technical summary

The TillKit WordPress plugin before 1.0.5 does not require the hard-coded, publicly known PIN of the privileged POS account it creates on activation to be changed before use, and it authenticates its public POS login endpoint on that PIN alone with no identity or capability check. This allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain a privileged POS session and thereby read customer and site-user personal data and modify store data. The vulnerability is confirmed based on CVE Program and NVD records, which provide limited context on affected deployments and configurations.
