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 the Skydropx WordPress plugin (version n/a through 2.1.4) to be installed and active on an internet-reachable WordPress site; per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) no authentication, no user interaction, and no special privileges are needed, so default installations are exposed. The description attributes the issue to 'Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels,' meaning the vulnerable endpoint lacks a proper capability/authorization check rather than requiring a non-default setting. The primary limiting factors are simply the presence of the vulnerable plugin version and network reachability of the WordPress instance; impact is bounded to high confidentiality exposure with only limited integrity impact and no availability impact. |
| Impact | The input CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N, base 8.2 High) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the Skydropx WordPress plugin, with high confidentiality impact and limited integrity impact. All signals are internally consistent - PR:N aligns with the 'Incorrectly Configured Access Control' / broken-access-control description, and no scope change (S:U) is claimed. However, several key exploitation signals are entirely absent from the provided data: there is no EPSS probability score, no CISA KEV listing, and no indication of public POC or exploit code. Per the precision rules this is therefore 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - the 8.2 score reflects theoretical severity, not demonstrated real-world exploitation. Given that the sole source is a Patchstack research advisory for a niche shipping-integration plugin (no vendor confirmation, no active-exploitation intelligence), this currently reads as a credible-but-not-yet-prioritized issue: high CVSS driven by the unauthenticated network vector, but no evidence of widespread or targeted attacks. Patch status is also not stated in the input beyond the affected range 'n/a through 2.1.4', so a fixed version cannot be confirmed from the data provided. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends crafted HTTP requests directly to an unprotected plugin endpoint or AJAX action that fails to verify the caller's authorization, retrieving sensitive data (e.g., shipping, order, or account information) that should be access-controlled. The low attack complexity (AC:L) and lack of required privileges or user interaction mean exploitation needs only network reachability to the WordPress site. No public exploit code is identified in the provided data, so any current exploitation would require an attacker to independently discover the vulnerable request. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026
Missing authorization in the Skydropx WordPress plugin (versions through 2.1.4) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass access controls, potentially disclosing sensitive data with high confidentiality impact and limited integrity impact. The flaw is remotely exploitable with low complexity and requires no privileges or user interaction. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and there is no confirmation of active exploitation (CISA KEV).
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Until a fix is available, consider disabling or removing the Skydropx plugin if it is not essential; this eliminates exposure but may remove required functionality. If the plugin must remain active, restrict access to its endpoints using a web application firewall (WAF) or server-level rules to block unauthenticated requests to the vulnerable paths, though this requires identifying the exact endpoint and may cause false positives. Additional authentication layers (e.g., HTTP auth on the WordPress admin area) are not effective because the flaw is in a publicly accessible endpoint. Monitor the vendor advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/skydropx/vulnerability/wordpress-skydropx-plugin-2-1-4-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for updates and patch information.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Skydropx plugin for WordPress fails to perform proper authorization checks on one or more of its endpoints, a Missing Authorization flaw (CWE-862). In WordPress, plugins are expected to verify user capabilities (e.g., via current_user_can()) before performing privileged actions. The absence of such checks allows any remote unauthenticated visitor to invoke functionality that should be restricted. With a CVSS vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, the endpoint is reachable over the network without authentication or user interaction, and the impact is primarily to confidentiality (C:H) with limited integrity (I:L) and no availability (A:N). The plugin version range is from n/a through 2.1.4, affecting all installations of that range on internet-facing WordPress sites.

DescriptionCVE.org
Missing Authorization vulnerability in Skydropx Skydropx skydropx allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Skydropx: from n/a through 2.1.4.
Executive ViewAI
The Skydropx shipping integration plugin for WordPress, at all versions through 2.1.4, contains an access-control flaw rated HIGH (CVSS 8.2) that could let a remote party reach sensitive data the plugin should be protecting. Because WordPress plugin code sits on internet-facing web properties, any site running an affected version - including customer-facing storefronts and their backend data stores - is potentially exposed, and no vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. There is no confirmation of active exploitation (CISA KEV) and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis, giving leadership a limited but real window to remediate before exploitation attempts appear.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: deactivate or remove the Skydropx plugin on internet-facing sites where it is not operationally required; where it must remain active, apply WAF or reverse-proxy rules that block unauthenticated direct requests to the plugin's endpoints, restrict access to trusted IP ranges or authenticated sessions, and increase logging and alerting on those paths pending a vendor fix.
