Missing Authorization vulnerability in Akhtarujjaman Shuvo Post Grid Master allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels. This issue affects Post Grid Master: from n/a through 3.4.13.
AnalysisAI
Broken access control in Post Grid Master 3.4.13 and earlier allows authenticated attackers with low privileges to modify unauthorized settings. The vulnerability is due to missing authorization checks, enabling exploitation of incorrectly configured access control security levels. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified, and the EPSS score is low (0.06%).
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in the WordPress plugin Post Grid Master, which is used to create and manage post grids. The CPE indicates the plugin is installed on WordPress sites. The root cause is that the plugin fails to properly verify user permissions before allowing access to certain functionality, leading to unauthorized actions by authenticated users with low privileges.
RemediationAI
Update Post Grid Master to version 3.4.14 or later, as per the vendor advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/ajax-filter-posts/vulnerability/wordpress-post-grid-master-3-4-13-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve. No workarounds are documented; restricting low-privileged user access to the plugin's settings may reduce risk but could impact functionality.
