CVE-2026-9016
MediumCVSS 5.3Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk18th percentile - higher than 18% of all known CVEs
Summary
The Debug Log Manager plugin for WordPress up to version 2.5.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to inject forged entries into the WordPress debug log. The vulnerability is exploitable when JavaScript error logging is enabled and the nonce is publicly disclosed.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves masking malicious activities with fake log entries, hindering administrators from detecting real security incidents.
Recommendation
Disable the JavaScript error logging feature of the Debug Log Manager plugin or update to a patched version.

Original NVD description (English source)
The Debug Log Manager – Conveniently Monitor and Inspect Errors plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.0. This is due to the `log_js_errors()` AJAX handler being registered for unauthenticated users via `wp_ajax_nopriv_log_js_errors` and gated only by a nonce that is publicly disclosed in every front-end page's HTML through `wp_localize_script()` whenever JavaScript error logging is enabled, providing no real authorization barrier. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary forged entries into the site's WordPress debug log by supplying attacker-controlled values for the `message`, `script`, `lineNo`, `columnNo`, and `pageUrl` fields — enabling spoofing of error and incident records, obscuring malicious activity within fabricated log noise, and misleading administrators who rely on the log for triage. This vulnerability is only exploitable when the plugin's JavaScript error logging feature is enabled, as the requisite nonce is only published into the page HTML under that condition.
