Missing Authorization vulnerability in WPManiax WP DB Booster allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels. This issue affects WP DB Booster: from n/a through 1.0.1.
AnalysisAI
Insufficient access controls in the WPManiax WP DB Booster plugin for WordPress up to version 1.0.1 allow authenticated low-privilege users to read sensitive data and cause limited availability impact. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified. The vulnerability carries a medium-severity CVSS base score of 5.4 and a very low EPSS exploitation probability (0.07%).
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) and arises in a WordPress plugin, likely written in PHP, that lacks proper permission checks on certain admin-facing or data-access endpoints. This missing authorization allows an attacker with a low-privilege WordPress account to invoke functionality intended for higher-privilege roles. The affected product, WP DB Booster by WPManiax, is a database-related utility plugin. The European Union Vulnerability Database (EUVD) lists affected versions as all versions up to and including 1.0.1.
RemediationAI
Update the WP DB Booster plugin to a version later than 1.0.1 if a patched release is available from the vendor. The Patchstack advisory should be monitored for a confirmed fix version. If no update is forthcoming, consider deactivating and removing the plugin until a patch is released. As a workaround, restrict access to the WordPress admin area using IP allowlists or strong authentication policies, but be aware that this may not fully prevent exploitation from an authenticated low-privilege user.
