CVE-2026-8976: RSS Aggregator by Feedzy <= 5.1.7 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Contributor+) Import Job Creation, Execution, Purge, Log Clearing, and Information Disclosure via Multiple AJAX Sub-Actions

Published Jun 5, 2026

Updated

The RSS Aggregator by Feedzy – Feed to Post, Autoblogging, News & YouTube Video Feeds Aggregator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.7. 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 contributor-level access and above, to create and execute RSS import jobs, purge (force-delete) all posts associated with any import job, clear import error logs, and enumerate taxonomy terms and post metakey names. The nonce required to reach these sub-handlers is leaked to any user with the editposts capability via the feedzyjs localized script injected into the block editor, meaning no privileged nonce theft or separate exploit step is required for Contributor-level users.
