Missing Authorization vulnerability in Bit Apps Bit Assist bit-assist allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Bit Assist: from n/a through <= 1.5.11.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated information disclosure in the Bit Assist plugin for WordPress (versions up to 1.5.11) allows remote attackers to read potentially sensitive data due to missing authorization checks on certain endpoints. No proof-of-concept exploit code or active exploitation has been publicly reported at this time; the EPSS exploitation probability is 0.06%.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from a Missing Authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the Bit Assist WordPress plugin. Certain REST API endpoints or actions lack proper capability checks, enabling unauthenticated attackers to access functionality intended for authorized users. The affected product is the 'Bit Assist' plugin (slug 'bit-assist'), versions 1.5.11 and earlier, as identified by the Patchstack advisory.
Affected ProductsAI
The Bit Assist plugin for WordPress, from an unspecified starting version through <= 1.5.11, is affected. The Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/bit-assist/vulnerability/wordpress-bit-assist-plugin-1-5-11-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve provides details. No CPE is listed, but the typical CPE string would be cpe:2.3:a:bitapps:bit-assist:*:*:*:*:*:wordpress:*:* up to version 1.5.11.
RemediationAI
Update to a patched version of Bit Assist once released; the exact fix version is not stated in the available data. In the interim, if the exposure is critical, disable the plugin or restrict access to the plugin's REST API endpoints via a web application firewall or .htaccess rules - this may break plugin functionality. Monitor the Patchstack advisory for the vendor's patch version.
