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 only that a WordPress site running Sunshine Photo Cart version n/a through 3.7.4 be network-reachable; the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates no authentication and no user interaction are needed against default installations. The practical limiting factor is impact scope rather than access: the flaw yields only partial confidentiality disclosure (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect, so the realistic risk is unauthorized read access to plugin-managed data (e.g., cart or gallery/customer information) rather than site compromise. The exact restricted feature or endpoint affected is not specified in the description - verify against the Patchstack advisory to determine which data is exposed. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.3) Missing Authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the Sunshine Photo Cart WordPress plugin, reported by Patchstack. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring no privileges (PR:N) and no user interaction, with a limited confidentiality impact only (C:L) and no integrity or availability impact (I:N/A:N) - consistent with a broken access control issue that exposes data that should be restricted rather than enabling takeover. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was supplied in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The real-world priority is moderate-to-low: the unauthenticated network vector and low complexity make it easy to trigger, but the impact is capped at partial information disclosure with no write or denial-of-service capability. SSVC-style framing: exploitation is 'none' observed, technical impact is 'partial', and automatability is plausible given AV:N/AC:L/PR:N, but the limited C:L impact keeps this out of urgent-patch territory absent new exploitation signals. Treat as a routine-priority patch unless the exposed data is sensitive in your deployment. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request directly to a Sunshine Photo Cart plugin endpoint that fails to verify the caller's authorization, retrieving photo cart or customer data that should be access-restricted. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, this requires only network reachability to the WordPress site and no login or victim interaction. No public proof-of-concept was identified in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 15, 2026
Sunshine Photo Cart (WordPress plugin) versions up to 3.7.4 are affected by a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass access controls and read limited sensitive data from the plugin, such as cart or customer information. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates no authentication or user interaction is required, but impact is confined to partial confidentiality loss (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. To mitigate, consider temporarily disabling the Sunshine Photo Cart plugin until a fix is available, but note this will remove all gallery and cart functionality from the site. Alternatively, use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to block unauthenticated requests to plugin-specific endpoints, though this may also block legitimate public access to galleries and carts. Restricting access to the WordPress REST API or AJAX actions to authenticated users could help, but may break intended functionality. Monitor the Patchstack advisory for a patched version and apply it promptly once released. If the vulnerable endpoint is identified, apply targeted access controls or virtual patching via a security plugin.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in the Sunshine Photo Cart WordPress plugin, which manages photo galleries, shopping carts, and customer data. This flaw arises when an endpoint, AJAX action, or REST API route lacks proper capability checks (e.g., current_user_can) or nonce verification, allowing unauthenticated users to access restricted functionality. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:wp_sunshine:sunshine_photo_cart:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates that all versions of the plugin are potentially affected, though the vulnerability description specifies versions through 3.7.4. The CVSS vector confirms network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction, with only low confidentiality impact, meaning the exposure is limited to read access of plugin-managed data rather than modification or denial of service. The exact restricted feature or endpoint is not detailed in the available description; the Patchstack advisory (linked in references) should be consulted for specifics.
