Missing Authorization vulnerability in icc0rz H5P h5p allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects H5P: from n/a through <= 1.16.1.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated information disclosure in the H5P WordPress plugin up to version 1.16.1 allows remote attackers to access sensitive data due to missing authorization checks. No authentication is required, but only low confidentiality impact is expected. No public exploit has been identified, and exploitation is not known to be active.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in the H5P plugin for WordPress. The plugin, which enables interactive HTML5 content, likely exposes REST API endpoints or admin-ajax handlers that lack proper capability checks, permitting unauthenticated access to information that should be restricted to authenticated users or administrators. The affected product is the ‘h5p’ plugin by icc0rz, as indicated by the Patchstack advisory.
Affected ProductsAI
The H5P WordPress plugin versions up to and including 1.16.1 are affected. The Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/h5p/vulnerability/wordpress-h5p-plugin-1-16-1-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) lists the exact impacted version range.
RemediationAI
Update the H5P plugin to a patched version once released by the vendor; no fixed version has been independently confirmed at the time of this analysis. Until an update is available, limit access to the WordPress admin area and consider disabling or restricting the plugin if the feature is not essential. No specific workarounds are published, but hardening the site (e.g., using a web application firewall to filter potentially malicious requests) may reduce exposure.
