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 | The target must be a WordPress site running the VideoWhisper 'Paid Videochat Turnkey Site' (ppv-live-webcams) plugin at any version from n/a through 7.5.12, with the affected feature reachable. Per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N), exploitation requires no authentication and no user interaction against network-reachable installations. The primary limiting factor is deployment prevalence: this is a specialized pay-per-view videochat plugin with a narrow install base, and the Low C/I/A ratings indicate the accessible functionality grants only limited data exposure or modification rather than full site compromise. The description does not name the specific endpoint or configuration, so the exact precondition on the plugin side could not be extracted from the available data. |
| Impact | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L, base 7.3) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) with low-but-present impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability - consistent with a broken access control issue where an actor reaches a function without the required capability check. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were supplied in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. This profile is a classic 'easy-to-trigger but moderate-impact' Patchstack-reported WordPress plugin issue: the unauthenticated network vector keeps attention warranted, but the uniformly Low impact ratings and the absence of exploitation signals (no KEV, no EPSS, no POC) argue against treating it as a top-tier emergency. The description phrase 'Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels' is vague and does not specify the exact endpoint or action affected, so the precise impact of the missing authorization should be verified against the Patchstack advisory before final prioritization. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request directly to a plugin endpoint or AJAX action that lacks a proper capability/authorization check, invoking functionality intended to be restricted. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no login, user interaction, or special timing is required, though each of confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact is rated Low. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026
Missing authorization in the VideoWhisper Paid Videochat Turnkey Site (ppv-live-webcams) WordPress plugin, in all versions through 7.5.12, lets unauthenticated remote attackers invoke plugin functionality that should be gated behind an access-control check, rated CVSS 3.1 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L). The accessible functionality yields only low confidentiality, integrity and availability impact rather than full site compromise, and real-world exposure is bounded by the narrow install base of this specialized pay-per-view videochat plugin. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
The provided intelligence does not identify a vendor-published fixed version; treat all releases through 7.5.12 as vulnerable and consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/ppv-live-webcams/vulnerability/wordpress-paid-videochat-turnkey-site-plugin-7-5-12-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the vendor's ppv-live-webcams plugin page for the patched release before upgrading past 7.5.12, since the exact fixed number is not confirmed in the available data. If the videochat/pay-per-view functionality is not actively in use, deactivating and removing the plugin eliminates the attack surface entirely, at the cost of losing that feature. Where the plugin must stay active and no patched release is available, use a WAF or reverse proxy to block unauthenticated requests to the plugin's reachable entry points (its admin-ajax.php actions, REST routes, and direct plugin PHP paths) and to log or rate-limit attempts, accepting the trade-off that legitimate guest or pay-per-view viewers reaching the same endpoints may be blocked or degraded. Additionally, restrict the plugin's public pages to authenticated or subscribed users via role/membership rules, and monitor plugin-related requests for unexpected unauthenticated activity, since the flaw requires no login and no user interaction.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) in the WordPress plugin distributed as ppv-live-webcams, with the CPE cpe:2.3:a:videowhisper.com:paid_videochat_turnkey_site:* marking every published plugin version as in scope. Patchstack, the reporting source, classifies it under broken access control / authentication bypass tags, which is the WordPress ecosystem's typical framing for an entry point (admin-ajax.php action, REST route, or directly reachable plugin PHP file) that performs a privileged operation without the required current_user_can() capability check, role check, or equivalent authorization gate. Because the CVSS vector is PR:N and UI:N, the vulnerable entry point is reachable over the network without credentials and without luring a victim into an action; because the scope is unchanged and all three impact metrics are Low, the reachable function only exposes or modifies limited data or state (for example restricted plugin configuration or content), not administrative control of the site. The available intelligence does not name the specific endpoint, action parameter, or configuration prerequisite inside the plugin, so the exact reachability precondition could not be extracted from the provided data.

Missing Authorization vulnerability in VideoWhisper.com Paid Videochat Turnkey Site ppv-live-webcams allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Paid Videochat Turnkey Site: from n/a through 7.5.12.
Executive ViewAI
The VideoWhisper Paid Videochat Turnkey Site (ppv-live-webcams) WordPress plugin, versions through 7.5.12, contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to invoke restricted functionality. Although the impact is limited to low levels of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, organizations relying on this specialized pay-per-view videochat plugin should prioritize remediation given the absence of a vendor patch. Leadership should be concerned because the vulnerability could be exploited by anyone with network access, potentially disrupting paid videochat services or exposing limited customer data, though the narrow install base reduces widespread risk.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include disabling the plugin if not essential, restricting network access to the plugin's endpoints through IP allowlisting or .htaccess rules, deploying WAF rules to block unauthenticated requests to the vulnerable functionality, and monitoring logs for exploitation attempts. Additionally, consider virtual patching via a security plugin that can enforce authorization checks.
