Missing Authorization vulnerability in sunshinephotocart Sunshine Photo Cart sunshine-photo-cart allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Sunshine Photo Cart: from n/a through <= 3.5.7.1.
AnalysisAI
Unauthorized modification possible in the Sunshine Photo Cart WordPress plugin up to version 3.5.7.1 due to missing authorization checks. Authenticated low-privileged users can exploit misconfigured access controls to alter data they should not have access to. No active exploitation or public exploit is known, and EPSS indicates a 0.04% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from Missing Authorization (CWE-862), meaning the plugin fails to enforce proper access control checks on certain operations. The affected software is a WordPress plugin for photo cart functionality, identified by the slug 'sunshine-photo-cart'. The root cause allows low-privileged authenticated users to perform actions that should be restricted to higher roles, likely through unprotected AJAX endpoints or admin page callbacks. The CVSS vector shows the attack is network-based, requires low privileges, and has no user interaction, leading to limited integrity impact.
Affected ProductsAI
Sunshine Photo Cart for WordPress versions from n/a through and including 3.5.7.1 are vulnerable. The Patchstack advisory provides details: https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/sunshine-photo-cart/vulnerability/wordpress-sunshine-photo-cart-plugin-3-5-7-1-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the Sunshine Photo Cart plugin to a patched version as released by the vendor; check the Patchstack advisory for the fixed version number. If a patch is not yet available, disable the plugin entirely if its functionality is not critical, noting this will break photo cart features. As a compensating control, restrict low-level roles (e.g., subscriber) from accessing the WordPress admin area, though this may not block all AJAX endpoints. Monitor for unauthorized changes to plugin settings.
