# CVE-2026-126808: WP ERP through 1.17.11 Incorrect Authorization via HRM Job-Info AJAX Handlers

Status: published. Published: 2026-11-11. Updated: 2026-11-12.

weDevs ERP (WP ERP) through 1.17.11 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated employees to edit their own HR records because HRM AJAX handlers check erp_edit_employee instead of erp_manage_jobinfo. Attackers can post their own user_id with the My Profile nonce to change designation, reporting manager, pay rate, and employment type, or delete job history.
