CVE-2026-5488

The ExactMetrics plugin for WordPress contains a security flaw in versions up to 9.1.2 that allows unauthorized access to sensitive features. Specifically, the get_ads_access_token() and reset_experience() functions within the plugin's AJAX handlers fail to verify user permissions, allowing attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to obtain valid Google Ads tokens and manipulate integration settings. This vulnerability can be exploited by authenticated users who should not have such privileges.
