CVE-2026-1992

Summary

The ExactMetrics – Google Analytics Dashboard for WordPress plugin is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions 8.6.0 through 9.0.2. This is due to the store_settings() method in the ExactMetrics_Onboarding class accepting a user-supplied triggered_by parameter that is used instead of the current user's ID to check permissions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with the exactmetrics_save_settings capability to bypass the install_plugins capability check by specifying an administrator's user ID in the triggered_by parameter, allowing them to install arbitrary plugins and achieve Remote Code Execution. This vulnerability only affects sites on which administrator has given other user types the permission to view reports and can only be exploited by users of that type.
