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 an authenticated WordPress account with at least low privileges (PR:L) on a site running the VideoWhisper Broadcast Live Video plugin version 7.3.6 or earlier; the flaw is a missing/incorrectly-configured authorization check on a plugin function, so the attacker leverages their existing low-level session to invoke an action they should not be entitled to. Limiting factors: the attacker cannot be fully anonymous (an account is needed, which on sites allowing open registration is a low bar), impact is restricted to integrity only (no data disclosure or denial of service), scope is unchanged, and the site must have this specific plugin installed and enabled. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.3) missing-authorization flaw whose signals consistently point to LOW real-world priority rather than an urgent threat. The provided CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) shows it is network-reachable with low attack complexity and no user interaction, but it REQUIRES an authenticated low-privileged account (PR:L) and yields only limited integrity impact (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability loss. No EPSS score was supplied, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit referenced, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' No SSVC decision data (automatable / technical impact) was provided. The signals are internally consistent - there is no conflict between the CVSS vector and the Broken Access Control description - so the assessment is that this is a genuine but low-urgency authorization weakness, not a high-impact priority. Note the input tag 'Authentication Bypass' is imprecise: PR:L confirms the attacker must already be authenticated, so this is broken access control / privilege misuse, not an authentication bypass. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds a low-privileged WordPress account (e.g., a self-registered subscriber) on a site running Broadcast Live Video ≤7.3.6 sends a request to a plugin action or endpoint that lacks a proper capability/authorization check. Because the authorization control is missing or misconfigured, the request succeeds and the attacker performs an action reserved for higher-privileged users, producing a limited integrity change. No public proof-of-concept was referenced in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 12, 2026
Missing authorization in the VideoWhisper Broadcast Live Video WordPress plugin (all versions through 7.3.6) allows an authenticated low-privilege user to invoke plugin functionality they are not entitled to and alter site content or plugin settings without holding the required capability. The impact is integrity-only (CVSS 4.3, C:N/I:L/A:N), scope is unchanged, and no confidentiality loss or denial of service results. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, CISA KEV does not list this CVE, and the assessed exploitation conditions (a valid low-privileged account on a site with the plugin enabled) place real-world risk at low priority rather than urgent.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis; the only supplied reference is the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/videowhisper-live-streaming-integration/vulnerability/wordpress-broadcast-live-video-plugin-7-3-6-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve, which should be monitored for the fixed release, after which upgrading to a version above 7.3.6 is the primary fix. Until a patched version is published, compensating controls should target the required low-privilege account: disable open user registration and audit existing accounts so unvetted subscribers cannot be created (trade-off: blocks legitimate self-service onboarding), reduce the default subscriber role's capabilities or route untrusted users through a role with no plugin access, and deactivate the Broadcast Live Video plugin entirely on sites that do not actively stream (trade-off: loss of live-streaming functionality). Because the weakness is a missing capability check on a plugin handler rather than a network service, generic port blocking is not applicable; a WAF rule restricting the plugin's AJAX/REST endpoints to authenticated users holding elevated capabilities can add interim protection but may break legitimate front-end streaming workflows and should be tested before enforcement. Finally, treat any suspicious changes to plugin settings or stream configuration as evidence of prior abuse and review WordPress audit logs for low-privilege sessions invoking plugin endpoints.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) in a WordPress plugin, meaning an action handler - typically an AJAX action, REST route, or admin-post callback - performs an operation without validating that the current user holds the appropriate capability via current_user_can() (and, for state-changing requests, a valid nonce). Because WordPress exposes plugin endpoints to any request that carries a logged-in session, a low-privilege subscriber-level account can reach the handler and trigger state changes normally reserved for higher roles. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N confirms network reachability, no privileges beyond a low-privileged authenticated account (PR:L), no user interaction, no scope change, and a limited integrity impact only. The plugin is the VideoWhisper live-streaming integration for WordPress (slug videowhisper-live-streaming-integration); no CPE data was supplied, so the affected component is identified by plugin slug and version range rather than a formal CPE string.
