CVE-2026-1359 is an authorization flaw in the Genolve – AI image AI video generation plugin for WordPress affecting all versions up to and including 5.0.5. The vulnerability is caused by a missing capability check in the genolve_setOpt() function, which allows authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to modify arbitrary WordPress options without proper authorization. Because the vulnerable function can update site-wide configuration values, an attacker can change security-relevant settings such as enabling user registration and assigning the default role to administrator. This can be used to escalate privileges and compromise the integrity of the affected WordPress instance.
