Authorization Bypass in 6Storage Rentals WordPress Plugin AJAX Handlers
CVE-2026-9185 affects the 6Storage Rentals plugin for WordPress in all versions up to and including 2.22.0. The vulnerability is an authorization bypass caused by user-controlled object references in the six_storage_get_user_info and six_storage_update_profile AJAX actions. Specifically, the six_storage_getUserInfo() and six_storage_updateProfile() functions are exposed through wp_ajax_nopriv_* hooks, allowing unauthenticated access, and they trust the $_POST['userId'] parameter without verifying that the requester is authorized to access or modify the referenced tenant record. The handlers also lack ownership checks, session binding, and nonce validation. As a result, an attacker can submit crafted requests with an enumerated userId to retrieve or alter arbitrary tenants' profile data.
