MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged authenticated account on the target WordPress site (CVSS PR:L) plus a user-interaction step (UI:R), and the site must run WP VR from an unspecified early version through 9.1.3. The core condition is the plugin's missing authorization check on a privileged function, allowing an under-privileged user to invoke it. Limiting factors that reduce real-world risk: the attacker cannot be fully unauthenticated (an account/foothold is needed), exploitation depends on the required interaction completing, and impact is bounded to Low confidentiality/integrity/availability. No special non-default configuration is called out in the description. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity Missing Authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the WP VR WordPress plugin, rated CVSS 6.5. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation but requires an authenticated low-privileged account (PR:L) AND user interaction (UI:R), with limited (Low) impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability despite a changed scope. No EPSS score, KEV listing, POC, or SSVC data was supplied in the input. Per precision rules this is therefore 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - exploitation is neither confirmed in the wild (not in CISA KEV) nor backed by published exploit code. The combination of required authentication, required user interaction, and only Low impacts makes this a real-but-non-urgent issue rather than a drop-everything priority: it is a credible privilege/access-control weakness on affected sites but lacks the mass-exploitation signals (high EPSS, KEV, public POC) that would elevate it. Note a terminology conflict in the metadata - the source tags label this 'Authentication Bypass', but the CWE (862) and description describe broken/missing access control, which is distinct; this does not change severity but should be noted when cross-referencing. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged authenticated user (e.g., a subscriber or contributor account) on a site running WP VR ≤9.1.3 sends a request to a plugin function that fails to verify the caller's authorization, and - combined with a required user-interaction step - performs an action or accesses data reserved for higher-privileged roles. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data, so any current exploitation would require an attacker to independently develop the request against the vulnerable endpoint. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 05, 2026
Missing authorization in the WP VR WordPress plugin (WPFunnels Team) allows an authenticated low-privileged user to invoke privileged plugin functionality that should be restricted, affecting every version through 9.1.3. Exploitation requires a valid account on the target site (CVSS PR:L) plus a user-interaction step (UI:R), and the resulting impact is limited to low confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss under a changed scope, for a base score of 6.5. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, no CISA KEV listing, and the supplied intelligence does not name a fixed plugin version.
RemediationAI
The supplied intelligence does not identify a fixed plugin version, so first consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wpvr/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-vr-plugin-9-1-3-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and update WP VR to whatever patched release the vendor publishes above 9.1.3; if no patched release is available, deactivate or uninstall the plugin until one ships, accepting the loss of its VR/tour functionality. Because exploitation depends on holding a low-privileged account (CVSS PR:L), shrink the attack surface immediately by disabling open user registration, removing unused subscriber/contributor accounts, and auditing role capabilities so as few users as possible can reach the affected privileged action; the UI:R component also means the final trigger may require an existing user to click or submit something, so the flaw is not fully automatic. As compensating controls, add WAF or reverse-proxy rules that block or alert on unprivileged requests to the plugin's administrative/AJAX/REST entry points and enable WordPress audit logging to catch unexpected calls to WP VR actions - these reduce exposure but do not fix the root cause, and overly broad rules can break legitimate front-end plugin behavior.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The defect class is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): a privileged action inside the WP VR plugin is reachable without an adequate permission/capability check, so a user holding only low privileges can trigger functionality meant for higher-privileged roles. In the WordPress plugin model, such actions are normally exposed through admin-ajax.php handlers, REST API routes, or admin-post endpoints, and the developer is expected to enforce current_user_can() capability checks plus nonce validation; Patchstack's advisory classifies this as broken access control / incorrectly configured access control security levels and applies an 'Authentication Bypass' and 'WordPress Plugin' tag. The assessed vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L confirms the action is network-reachable with low attack complexity, but requires an existing low-privileged account and a user-interaction step; the S:C (scope changed) component indicates the vulnerable plugin code can affect resources beyond its own security authority, typically elsewhere in the same WordPress installation. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:wpfunnels_team:wp_vr:* carries a wildcard version, matching the 'from n/a through 9.1.3' range and indicating that all releases at or below 9.1.3 share the flawed access control.
