| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions are required for exploitation - the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms unauthenticated remote exploitation against default installations of the Mojoomla School Management WordPress plugin. The limiting factor is that the vulnerable plugin must be installed and active on the target WordPress site, and the affected endpoint must be reachable over the network (standard for most WordPress deployments). Exploitation is bounded to read-only confidentiality impact (C:L); no write access, code execution, or service disruption is implied by the available data. The scope is unchanged (S:U), meaning the vulnerability does not chain into broader WordPress core or server compromise on its own. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 (Medium) is supported by the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, indicating that exploitation is straightforward and requires no authentication, but impact is limited to partial confidentiality - no integrity or availability risk is asserted. The low attack complexity combined with no privilege or user interaction requirements makes this a realistic target of automated enumeration scripts against exposed WordPress installations. No EPSS score was provided in the source data, limiting probabilistic exploitation forecasting. Neither KEV status nor public proof-of-concept code has been identified, suggesting exploitation remains opportunistic rather than widespread or targeted. The realistic concern for organizations running this plugin is bulk data harvesting of personally identifiable information (student records, enrollment data) through sequential ID enumeration - a scenario that, while not catastrophic in scope, carries significant compliance and privacy implications for educational institutions subject to FERPA, GDPR, or similar frameworks. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker discovers a public-facing WordPress site running the School Management plugin and sends a series of crafted HTTP GET or POST requests to the plugin's AJAX or REST endpoint, incrementing a numeric student or record ID parameter (e.g., student_id=1, student_id=2, ...). The server returns the associated record for each valid ID without verifying session context, enabling bulk enumeration of student names, enrollment data, or contact information. No public exploit tool is currently known, but this attack is trivially scriptable. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 17, 2026
Unauthenticated Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in the Mojoomla School Management WordPress plugin (versions <= 93.1.0) allows remote attackers to access restricted school records by manipulating user-controlled object identifiers without any authorization check. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms trivial network exploitability with no authentication required, exposing student, staff, or institutional data to unauthorized disclosure. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
RemediationAI
Update the Mojoomla School Management plugin to a version above 93.1.0 as the primary remediation action; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/school-management/vulnerability/wordpress-school-management-plugin-plugin-93-1-0-insecure-direct-object-references-idor-vulnerability for the confirmed patched release version, as an exact fix version was not independently confirmed in the available input data. If an immediate update is not possible, restrict access to the WordPress AJAX endpoint (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) and any REST API routes exposed by this plugin to authenticated sessions only, using a Web Application Firewall rule or server-level authentication gate - note this may break legitimate unauthenticated plugin functionality and should be tested in staging first. Additionally, enable WordPress user authentication for all front-end requests to the plugin's data-serving endpoints as a compensating control.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-639 (Authorization Through User-Controlled Key) describes a class of access control flaws where the application relies on a client-supplied value - typically a numeric ID, UUID, or slug - to retrieve an object, without verifying that the requesting user is authorized to access that specific object. In WordPress plugin context, this typically manifests as REST API endpoints, AJAX handlers (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php), or page query parameters that accept an object identifier (e.g., student ID, enrollment record ID) and return the associated data without session or permission validation. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:mojoomla:school_management:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all releases of the Mojoomla School Management plugin through version 93.1.0 on WordPress.
