CVE-2026-9172
Description
The Devs Accounting – Simple Accounting and Invoicing Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification/deletion of data due to a missing capability check on the delete_single_account() function in versions up to, and including, 1.2.0. The REST route 'devs-accounting/v1/delete-account/(?P<id>\d+)' is registered without any permission_callback, which causes WordPress to expose the endpoint to public, unauthenticated access. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to soft-delete arbitrary accounting account records (wp_dac_accounts) by issuing a simple GET request to the endpoint with any account ID.
Summary dbcve.org
This WordPress plugin has a broken access control vulnerability where the REST endpoint 'devs-accounting/v1/delete-account/(?P<id>\d+)' lacks a permission_callback, causing WordPress to expose it to public/unauthenticated access. Attackers can soft-delete arbitrary accounting records (wp_dac_accounts) by sending a simple GET request with any account ID.
Mitigation
Add a proper permission_callback to the REST route registration that verifies user capabilities (e.g., 'manage_options' or a custom capability) before executing delete_single_account(). Alternatively, change the endpoint to require authentication.
