Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions required - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of Uncanny Automator versions up to 6.4.0.2. The CVSS vector indicates no privileges or user interaction needed, and the attack vector is network.

Impact

CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L indicates network-based, low complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction, with low integrity and availability impact. EPSS score is 0.09% (percentile 25%), suggesting low exploitation probability. No KEV listing or public exploit code has been reported. The risk is moderate: while the CVSS score is 6.5, the lack of active exploitation and low EPSS reduce immediate priority. However, the unauthenticated nature and network attack vector mean it could be exploited in automated attacks if details become public.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a WordPress site running a vulnerable version of Uncanny Automator, exploiting the missing authorization to modify automation rules or access restricted data. No public exploit code has been identified, but the low complexity makes it feasible to develop.
