Missing Authorization vulnerability in Nitesh Ultimate Auction ultimate-auction allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Ultimate Auction : from n/a through <= 4.3.3.
AnalysisAI
Broken access controls in Ultimate Auction plugin for WordPress up to version 4.3.3 allow low-privileged attackers to modify or disrupt auction operations. The missing authorization checks (CWE-862) enable unauthorized changes without user interaction, impacting integrity and availability but not confidentiality. No active exploitation or public exploit code has been reported; EPSS indicates a low exploitation probability.
Technical ContextAI
Ultimate Auction is a WordPress plugin that facilitates online auction functionality, likely implemented in PHP. The vulnerability stems from missing authorization (CWE-862): certain plugin endpoints or actions fail to verify if the requester has appropriate permissions, allowing users with low privileges to perform actions intended for higher roles. This class of flaw arises when access control checks are omitted from code paths, enabling attackers to manipulate features beyond their granted capabilities. The CPE match for this plugin is not provided in standard data sources, but the Patchstack advisory confirms the affected software.
Affected ProductsAI
Ultimate Auction plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 4.3.3 are affected. Confirmed by the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/ultimate-auction/vulnerability/wordpress-ultimate-auction-plugin-4-3-2-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve.
RemediationAI
Update the plugin to version 4.3.4 or later, which fixes the missing authorization bug. The patched version is available from the WordPress plugin repository. No workarounds are detailed; updating is the primary action. If immediate update is not possible, audit and restrict low-privileged user roles to limit exposure, but this does not fully mitigate the flaw.
