Executive Summary

CVE-2026-81275 is an Arbitrary File Download vulnerability in the Youzify WordPress plugin versions 1.3.7 and below. It allows attackers with Subscriber-level access to download sensitive files from a website, such as those containing login credentials or backup files.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, monitor for unusual file download requests from subscriber-level users. Check web server logs for patterns like repeated requests to sensitive files (e.g., wp-config.php, .env). Use tools like grep to search logs for suspicious activity: grep 'GET /wp-content/plugins/youzify/' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep 'download'. Enable WordPress debug logging to track plugin behavior.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, including login credentials or backup files. Attackers could exploit it to steal confidential information, potentially compromising user accounts or the entire website. The high CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a significant risk of mass-exploit campaigns targeting multiple websites.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive files, such as those containing personal data or login credentials. If exploited, it may result in violations of GDPR (due to unauthorized access to personal data) or HIPAA (if protected health information is exposed).

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately restrict Subscriber-level access to the Youzify plugin or disable it until an official patch is released. Apply Patchstack's mitigation rule if available. Consider updating the plugin if a newer version addresses this issue.
