CVE-2026-19598 is a critical authorization bypass vulnerability in the Pods – Custom Content Types and Fields plugin for WordPress affecting all versions up to and including 3.3.9. The flaw is in the pods_admin AJAX router, which routes multiple security checks through pods_error(). Under the JSON meta-box-loader compatibility path, pods_error() logs the failure and returns false instead of terminating request processing. As a result, intended protections including the method allowlist, nonce validation, login enforcement, and capability checks do not effectively block execution. An unauthenticated remote attacker can therefore invoke privileged functionality without satisfying the normal authorization requirements, enabling privilege escalation to Administrator, password overwrite of arbitrary user accounts, and other administrator-level actions.
