| Exploitation Conditions | The target must run WordPress with the Majestic Support plugin installed and active at a version from n/a through 1.2.0. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) exploitation is remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity, and requires no user interaction against default configurations - the description frames it as 'Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels,' i.e. a plugin endpoint that omits an authorization check. The practical LIMIT on risk is impact scope: only a LOW integrity effect (C:N/A:N), meaning the attacker can perform an unauthorized action/state change but cannot read confidential data or cause outage; the plugin's small deployment footprint and absence of a published POC further constrain real-world exploitation. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but low-to-moderate priority issue. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N = 5.3 Medium) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) whose only impact is a LOW integrity effect - no confidentiality and no availability loss. The 5.3 is driven entirely by PR:N (no auth) rather than by impact, so despite the 'Medium' label the real-world severity is bounded: an attacker can perform some unauthorized state change or action the plugin should have gated, but cannot read sensitive data or take down the site. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so there is no evidence of active or imminent exploitation; the only source is a single Patchstack database entry. The dominant mitigating signal is prevalence: Majestic Support is a niche WordPress helpdesk plugin with a small deployment footprint, which further lowers attacker interest versus a mass-market plugin. Note the 'Authentication Bypass' tag conflicts with the actual CWE-862 (missing authorization is a post-authentication/authorization-logic flaw, not credential/authentication bypass) - treat the tag as imprecise. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated remote attacker sends a crafted HTTP request directly to a Majestic Support plugin endpoint (e.g. an AJAX or REST action) that fails to verify the caller's authorization level, triggering an unauthorized state-changing operation on a WordPress site running the plugin at version ≤1.2.0. Because no authentication or user interaction is required, the request can be issued directly against default installs, though impact is limited to the integrity of whatever data or action the vulnerable endpoint controls. No public exploit code was identified at the time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 01, 2026
Majestic Support plugin through 1.2.0 for WordPress allows remote unauthenticated attackers to perform unauthorized low-integrity actions because a plugin endpoint omits an authorization check. Only integrity is affected, with no confidentiality or availability impact expected, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. For WordPress sites running Majestic Support through 1.2.0, the most direct mitigation is to deactivate and remove the plugin until a fixed release is available; this removes exposure but disables its support/ticketing functionality. If the plugin must remain active, restrict access to its endpoints/actions with a WAF, reverse proxy, or web server rule that blocks unauthenticated requests to majestic-support plugin paths, accepting the trade-off that legitimate unauthenticated plugin features may break; alternatively, limit exposure to trusted networks or administrator-only contexts where feasible. Monitor the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/majestic-support/vulnerability/wordpress-majestic-support-plugin-1-2-0-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve and the vendor for a patched version, then upgrade to that release. Because the flaw is missing authorization, do not rely on the plugin itself to enforce capabilities for sensitive actions until it is patched.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Majestic Support is a WordPress plugin identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:ahmad:majestic_support:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* under vendor ahmad. The root cause is CWE-862 Missing Authorization, meaning a plugin action or endpoint that should enforce a WordPress capability/permission check does not, matching the advisory language of incorrectly configured access control security levels and the supplied Authentication Bypass tag. The assessed CVSS:3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N indicates exploitation is remote, unauthenticated, low complexity, and requires no user interaction, but impact is constrained to low integrity only; no confidentiality or availability impact is expected. No KEV, public POC, or EPSS data was provided, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
