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 session on the target WordPress site: the CVSS vector specifies PR:L, so the attacker needs a valid low-privileged account on a site running the SureDash plugin at version 1.12.3 or earlier. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and the vector is network-reachable (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L). The specific SureDash feature, endpoint, or configuration whose access control is 'incorrectly configured' is not described in the available sources, so the exact function reachable through the missing authorization check is not confirmed. Limiting factors: the need for a pre-existing authenticated account bounds the attacker population, and impact is confined to confidentiality (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity, lower-priority issue by the available signals, not a critical emergency. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) indicates a network-reachable but authenticated flaw requiring at least low-level privileges, with only limited confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact - consistent with a CWE-862 Missing Authorization/broken access control weakness where a low-privileged account can reach a function or data it should not. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', signalling scheduled remediation rather than act_now or emergency urgency. No EPSS score is provided in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The CVE is NOT listed in CISA KEV and no public exploit is identified; the sole reference is the Patchstack advisory (the original reporter), not working exploit code. The signals are internally consistent - modest CVSS, no KEV, no PoC, a routine priority label - so this reads as a genuine-but-low real-world risk rather than a high-CVSS-but-overrated issue, or vice versa. Missing data: no EPSS, no independent vendor advisory beyond Patchstack, and the description does not state the exact feature or endpoint whose access control is misconfigured. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a low-privileged authenticated account on a WordPress site running SureDash ≤1.12.3 (for example a subscriber or similar low role) sends a request to a plugin function whose authorization check is missing or misconfigured, gaining read access to information or an action that should be restricted to higher-privileged users. No public exploit code is identified, and the limited confidentiality-only impact means the gain is disclosure of restricted data rather than site takeover. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
Missing authorization in the Brainstorm Force SureDash WordPress plugin through 1.12.3 lets an authenticated low-privileged user bypass intended access controls on SureDash functionality or data, with confidentiality-only impact. The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) reflects the need for a valid account and the absence of integrity or availability effects, and the available signals place remediation in the this_month priority band rather than an emergency. No CISA KEV entry or public exploit code is associated with this CVE in the supplied data, and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
The provided input does not list an exact fixed version or an explicit patch status, so confirm the vendor's patched release in the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/suredash/vulnerability/wordpress-suredash-plugin-1-12-3-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve and upgrade SureDash as soon as a fixed version covering the 1.12.3-and-earlier branch is published. Because exploitation requires a valid low-privileged account (PR:L), practical interim controls are to tightly limit who can register or hold accounts on affected WordPress sites, remove dormant subscriber- or contributor-level users, and audit roles and capabilities to the minimum needed; the trade-off is administrative overhead and possible disruption to legitimate low-privileged workflows. If SureDash's affected functionality is not required, deactivating the plugin removes the exposure at the cost of losing its dashboard features. No KEV or public exploit signal in the provided data justifies emergency out-of-band action beyond the this_month priority.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a CWE-862 missing authorization issue in SureDash, a WordPress plugin from Brainstorm Force; CPE cpe:2.3:a:brainstorm_force:suredash:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and EUVD-2026-112879 record affected versions through 1.12.3. In WordPress terms this is a broken access control condition: a request carrying a low-privileged authenticated session can pass an authorization boundary that should restrict a capability, endpoint, or data set to a more privileged role. The supplied CVSS vector confirms network reachability, low complexity, PR:L (authenticated), UI:N, and scope unchanged, so the defect is not an unauthenticated takeover primitive. The Patchstack report is titled as a broken access control vulnerability and the input tags it 'Authentication Bypass', but the sources do not identify the specific SureDash feature, AJAX action, REST route, or capability check involved, so the trigger and the precise data exposed remain unconfirmed.
