Exploitation Conditions

Requires a valid authenticated account at Subscriber level (the lowest WordPress role), consistent with PR:L - not a pre-authentication bypass despite the 'Authentication Bypass' tag. The practical prerequisite is that the target WordPress site permits user registration (or the attacker otherwise holds any low-tier account); sites that disable self-registration and have no untrusted low-privilege users substantially limit exposure. Affected deployments run WPO365 at version 44.1 or earlier; no victim user interaction is needed (UI:N), and exploitation is network-reachable (AV:N) against the WordPress site's normal web interface.

Impact

The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N, base 8.5 HIGH) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring only low-privilege authentication (PR:L) with no user interaction, a scope change (S:C), and high confidentiality impact - consistent with a low-tier WordPress account (the description's 'Subscriber') abusing a missing authorization check (CWE-862) to reach data or functions above its role. No EPSS probability, CISA KEV entry, or POC indicator is present in the supplied data, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; the risk signal here rests entirely on the CVSS/CWE characterization from Patchstack, not on observed in-the-wild activity. The one internal tension worth verifying: the input Tags label this 'Authentication Bypass,' but the description and CWE-862 describe broken access control / missing authorization AFTER authentication (PR:L requires a valid subscriber account), which is a distinct and more limited condition than a true pre-auth bypass - treat this as a post-authentication privilege/access issue. Net: a genuine HIGH-severity authorization defect that matters for any site allowing untrusted user self-registration, but absent EPSS/KEV/POC it is a 'patch-promptly' item rather than a confirmed emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A site using WPO365 permits open or low-friction user registration, so an attacker registers (or obtains) an ordinary Subscriber-level account. Because an authorization check is missing on a plugin endpoint, the authenticated subscriber then invokes functionality or reads data intended only for higher-privileged roles, exposing sensitive configuration or Microsoft 365/Azure integration information. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and no user interaction by a victim is required.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026

Broken access control in the WPO365 WordPress plugin through version 44.1 lets an authenticated Subscriber-level account reach data or functionality beyond its assigned role, with the CVSS 3.1 vector indicating high confidentiality impact and a scope change. Exploitation is network-reachable and low-complexity requiring only a low-privilege account, with no user interaction needed; however, sites that disable self-registration or have no untrusted low-tier users substantially limit exposure. The CVE carries a HIGH base score of 8.5, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, with no confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV) status.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch is identified in the provided intelligence at time of analysis, so the primary remediation is to monitor the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wpo365-login/vulnerability/wordpress-wpo365-plugin-44-1-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for a fixed version and apply it as soon as it is published. Until then, actionable compensating controls include: disable open self-registration in WordPress (Settings > General > Membership) so unauthenticated visitors cannot obtain the Subscriber account required to exploit the missing authorization check - the trade-off is loss of public sign-up; if self-registration must remain, audit and remove untrusted Subscriber accounts and restrict their capabilities; apply least privilege to WPO365 role-mapping and Azure AD group-to-role settings so Subscribers cannot inherit elevated permissions; and use a WAF or reverse proxy to block or rate-limit anomalous requests from low-privilege accounts to WPO365 endpoints, though this can disrupt legitimate SSO flows if overly broad. Finally, monitor logs for unauthorized data access or privilege-escalation attempts originating from Subscriber accounts.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in the WPO365 plugin, which provides Azure AD/Entra ID login and user synchronization for WordPress. Per the CPE cpe:2.3:a:marco_van_wieren:wpo365:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and the EUVD entry EUVD-2026-93071, all versions up to and including 44.1 are affected. The assessed CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N shows the flaw is reachable over the network against the normal WordPress web interface, needs only a low-privilege authenticated account (the Subscriber role), and requires no victim interaction. The scope change (S:C) and high confidentiality impact indicate that a Subscriber can cross a privilege boundary to read data or invoke functions that should be reserved for higher roles, while the limited integrity impact (I:L) suggests the attacker can make some but not all unauthorized modifications. Despite the 'Authentication Bypass' tag, the independent assessment confirms this is not a pre-auth bypass: a valid account at Subscriber level is required, so sites with open registration or untrusted low-tier users are most exposed.

Subscriber Broken Access Control in WPO365 <= 44.1 versions.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A broken access control flaw in the WPO365 WordPress plugin (through version 44.1) allows any authenticated Subscriber-level user to reach data and functionality outside their assigned role, with a scope change and high confidentiality impact. Because self-service registration on many WordPress sites lets untrusted parties obtain exactly that low-privilege account, this represents a potential unauthorized data exposure path on any affected site that permits open sign-ups. No vendor patch is currently available, so exposure must be managed through configuration and access controls until a fix is released.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: disable self-registration and close public sign-up paths, remove or audit all untrusted Subscriber-level accounts, deactivate or remove the WPO365 plugin where not essential, enforce least privilege on WordPress roles, apply WAF rules restricting access to plugin endpoints to administrative users, and monitor logs for unauthorized Subscriber-role access. Note that exploitation requires an authenticated low-privilege account, and sites that disable self-registration or have no untrusted low-tier users substantially limit exposure.
