CVE-2026-9172: Devs Accounting <= 1.2.0 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Account Deletion via /delete-account/ REST Endpoint

• Severity: medium (CVSS 5.3 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.4% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-06-24 · updated 2026-06-25
• Weakness: CWE-862

Description

The Devs Accounting – Simple Accounting and Invoicing Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification/deletion of data due to a missing capability check on the delete_single_account() function in versions up to, and including, 1.2.0. The REST route 'devs-accounting/v1/delete-account/(?P<id>\d+)' is registered without any permission_callback, which causes WordPress to expose the endpoint to public, unauthenticated access. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to soft-delete arbitrary accounting account records (wp_dac_accounts) by issuing a simple GET request to the endpoint with any account ID.
