CVE-2026-6079

high

Description

The Material Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data due to missing capability checks on the amd_ajax_target_task_manager() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.10. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enumerate all scheduled tasks (potentially exposing PII), execute arbitrary tasks, and delete any task via the public_amd_ajax_handler AJAX action.
