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 affected product is the Sunshine Photo Cart WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 3.7.5). The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes unauthenticated, no-interaction network exploitation, but the available sources do NOT specify which plugin feature, endpoint, action handler, or configuration triggers the missing authorization check - the description only states 'Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels,' so the exact precondition is not described in the available sources. Limiting factors: impact is confined to integrity (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability effect, scope is unchanged, and the site must be running the vulnerable plugin; the specific vulnerable function cannot be confirmed from the provided data and should be verified against the Patchstack advisory. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.3) broken access control / missing authorization flaw in the Sunshine Photo Cart WordPress plugin. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity issue requiring no privileges or user interaction, which maps to unauthenticated remote access; however, the impact is deliberately narrow - integrity only (I:L) with no confidentiality (C:N) and no availability (A:N) effect, and scope unchanged (S:U). This limited impact is why the score lands at medium rather than high despite the unauthenticated network vector. No EPSS score was provided in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified; the vulnerability is NOT listed in CISA KEV, and no verified public exploit code is referenced - the sole reference is a Patchstack database advisory, not working exploit code. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' (not act_now or emergency), consistent with a real-but-non-urgent authorization weakness. Net: this is a legitimate patch-this-month item for sites running the plugin, not a drop-everything emergency. A key caveat: the description is extremely generic ('Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels') and names no specific endpoint, so the precise data an attacker can modify is not confirmed from available sources. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request directly to a plugin endpoint that fails to verify the caller's authorization, allowing them to invoke a function or modify data intended to be restricted. Because the CVSS integrity impact is Low (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability effect, the achievable result is partial unauthorized modification rather than full site takeover or data exfiltration. No verified public exploit code exists; only a Patchstack advisory is referenced. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 22, 2026
Sunshine Photo Cart, a WordPress plugin for client photo galleries and proofing, does not enforce an authorization check on part of its functionality in versions up to and including 3.7.5, allowing unauthenticated remote requests to make limited unauthorized modifications. Per the CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N), the flaw is network-reachable without credentials or user interaction, and the impact is confined to integrity with no confidentiality or availability effect and unchanged scope, giving a medium severity of 5.3. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation is associated with this CVE in the available data; the originating advisory is Patchstack's plugin vulnerability database entry, and the specific vulnerable endpoint or action handler is not described in the available sources.
RemediationAI
The supplied data does not list a fixed version for this CVE, so the authoritative next step is to consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/sunshine-photo-cart/vulnerability/wordpress-sunshine-photo-cart-plugin-3-7-5-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for the patched release and update the Sunshine Photo Cart plugin from 3.7.5 (or earlier) to that version through the WordPress plugin updater. Because the affected endpoint, action handler and required configuration are not described in the available sources, no specific feature, route or port can be recommended for disabling or blocking at this time, and the sources do not document a workaround; inventory WordPress installations for the plugin at or below 3.7.5 to identify exposure, and re-check the advisory before assuming any interim configuration is sufficient, since only the vendor-supplied fix is documented as resolving the missing authorization check.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is a CWE-862 Missing Authorization defect in a WordPress plugin, meaning a code path that performs a state-changing or privileged operation does not verify that the caller holds the required capability (or does not register a proper permission callback) before acting. In WordPress plugin architecture this class of bug typically arises where AJAX handlers (wp_ajax_nopriv_*), REST API routes without a permission_callback, or admin-post actions lack current_user_can() or nonce validation, so requests reach the handler regardless of who sent them. For this CVE the affected plugin is Sunshine Photo Cart through 3.7.5 and the sources describe it only as exploiting incorrectly configured access control security levels; they do not identify which feature, endpoint, action handler, or configuration is the entry point, so the exact trigger and the affected function remain unverified from the supplied data and should be confirmed against the Patchstack advisory. The high attack complexity, privileges or interaction requirements implied by other bug classes should not be assumed here: the assessed vector explicitly reflects AC:L, PR:N and UI:N, while the integrity-only impact indicates the reachable operation is limited in effect rather than permitting data disclosure or denial of service.
