CVE-2026-103883sixstorage 6Storage Rentals improper authentication
CVE-2026-103883 is a improper authentication in sixstorage 6Storage Rentals, rated high (8.8 on CVSS 3.1).
Why this priority: High severity, with no exploitation signal yet.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Deferred
What it is
The software does not prove who a caller is, so an attacker can pass as someone else.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, with an ordinary user account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects, change data or behaviour and take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker act as a signed-in user, or an administrator, without valid credentials.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- No fixed version is listed yet. Find every place sixstorage 6Storage Rentals runs, watch the references for a fix, and plan a replacement if it is no longer supported.
- While there is no fix, review who holds accounts that can reach it.
Description from NVD
The 6Storage Rentals plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass leading to Administrator Account Takeover in all versions up to, and including, 2.31.0. The vulnerability exists because the `six_storage_portal_registration()` AJAX handler — registered on `wp_ajax_six_storage_portal_plugin_registration` — performs no capability check and no nonce verification before writing the caller-supplied `six_storage_online_api_url` POST parameter to the site-wide option of the same name; the unauthenticated `six_storage_create_wp_user()` handler then redeems a transient seeded from that attacker-controlled URL's response and unconditionally calls `wp_set_current_user()` and `wp_set_auth_cookie()` with no ownership or credential verification. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to authenticate as any existing WordPress user — including any administrator whose email address is known or guessable — resulting in full site compromise. This issue represents an incomplete fix for a prior vulnerability: the 2.29.0 remediation moved the target email out of POST data into a server-side transient, but because any Subscriber can still overwrite the outbound API URL that populates that transient, the full authentication bypass chain remains exploitable in three AJAX requests.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- WordPress sites and their plugins. Plugins run inside the site with its database access, and many sites are public.
- Sign-in, session and token handling. The flaw sits between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions.
- Identity providers and SSO. The flaw sits between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions.
Trust boundaries in play
- Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.
- Between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions. An attacker who crosses it can act as a signed-in user, or an administrator, without valid credentials.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does sixstorage 6Storage Rentals run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
