CVE-2026-18046: Cookie Consent < 0.0.10 - Subscriber+ MaxMind License Key Update
- Severity: medium (CVSS 4.3 v3.1)
- Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
- EPSS: 0.3% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
- Public exploit or detection template: none known
- Published: 2026-08-12 · updated 2026-08-26
- Weakness: CWE-863
Description
The Cookie Consent WordPress plugin before 0.0.10 does not correctly enforce its intended administrator-only capability check on the REST route that stores its geolocation service license key, so the route falls back to an authentication-only gate, allowing any authenticated user such as a subscriber to overwrite the stored key and disrupt the Cookie Consent WordPress plugin before 0.0.10's geolocation-based consent banner targeting.
Affected products
- Cookie Consent: from 0.0.9 before 0.0.10 — fixed in 0.0.10
How to fix
Upgrade to a fixed version: Cookie Consent 0.0.10. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
