      <title>CVE-2026-8499 — Helpfulcrowd Product Reviews &lt;= 1.2.9 - Inccorect Authorization via Type Juggling in 'token' Parameter to Arbitrary Set…</title>
      <link>https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/cve-2026-8499</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Helpfulcrowd Product Reviews&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Helpfulcrowd Product Reviews plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authorization Bypass via PHP Type Juggling in versions up to, and including, 1.2.9. This is due to the `helpfulcrowd_validate_token()` function using a loose comparison operator (`!=`) instead of a strict comparison (`!==`) when validating the `token` parameter, while the corresponding REST route `/wp-json/helpfulcrowd/v1/update-settings` is registered with a `permission_callback` of `__return_true`, making it reachable by unauthenticated users; submitting a JSON boolean `true` as the `token` value causes PHP&amp;#39;s loose comparison to evaluate as equal to the non-empty base64-encoded secret string, bypassing the check entirely. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke `helpfulcrowd_settings_endpoint()` and write arbitrary attacker-controlled key-value pairs directly into the `helpfulcrowd_options` WordPress database option via `update_option()` without any sanitization or allowlist filtering, enabling full unauthenticated modification of the plugin&amp;#39;s stored configuration.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
