Summary
The Dropdown Menu Widget WordPress plugin through 1.9.7 does not have authorisation and CSRF checks when saving its settings, allowing low privilege users such as subscriber to update them. Due to the lack of sanitisation and escaping, it could also lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting issues
Exploit prediction
0.60% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 49% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
