Missing Authorization vulnerability in WP Legal Pages WP Cookie Notice for GDPR, CCPA & ePrivacy Consent gdpr-cookie-consent allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WP Cookie Notice for GDPR, CCPA & ePrivacy Consent: from n/a through <= 4.0.7.
AnalysisAI
Missing authorization in WP Cookie Notice for GDPR, CCPA & ePrivacy Consent plugin versions up to 4.0.7 allows unauthenticated attackers to modify cookie consent settings, potentially undermining the site’s compliance posture. No active exploitation or public proof-of-concept has been identified, and the EPSS score (0.05%) indicates very low exploitation probability.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability arises from a CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) in the gdpr-cookie-consent plugin for WordPress. The plugin manages cookie consent banners and user consent records to comply with GDPR and CCPA. Specific AJAX or REST API endpoints lack capability checks, allowing requests to modify consent configuration (e.g., banner text, cookie expiry) without verifying user permissions. The CVSS vector confirms an unauthenticated, network-based attack with only a low integrity impact and no confidentiality or availability impact.
Affected ProductsAI
WP Cookie Notice for GDPR, CCPA & ePrivacy Consent plugin (gdpr-cookie-consent) versions up to and including 4.0.7 are affected. The vendor advisory is available at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/gdpr-cookie-consent/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-cookie-notice-for-gdpr-ccpa-eprivacy-consent-plugin-4-0-7-broken-access-control-vulnerability.
RemediationAI
No official patched version has been confirmed by the vendor at this time. To mitigate risk, apply a Web Application Firewall rule to block unauthenticated requests targeting the plugin’s AJAX or REST endpoints until an update is released; be aware this may interfere with legitimate cookie banner functionality. Monitor the plugin’s update channel and upgrade to a version later than 4.0.7 when one becomes available. If the plugin is not essential, consider temporarily disabling it to eliminate the exposure.
