DescriptionCVE.org

The WP Crowdfunding WordPress plugin before 2.2.1 does not verify ownership of a campaign before allowing its update history to be modified and a notification email sent to its backers, allowing any authenticated users such as Subscribers to alter other users' campaigns.

AnalysisAI

Broken object-level authorization in the WP Crowdfunding WordPress plugin before 2.2.1 allows any authenticated user - including low-privilege Subscribers - to modify the update history of campaigns they do not own and trigger notification emails to that campaign's backers. The vulnerability stems from missing ownership verification on campaign update endpoints, enabling horizontal privilege escalation across all campaigns on the affected site. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid WordPress account at Subscriber role or higher on the target site - the lowest authenticated role available. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring only authenticated access, with limited integrity impact and no confidentiality or availability consequences. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker registers a free subscriber account on a WordPress site running the vulnerable WP Crowdfunding plugin, then enumerates campaign IDs - which are typically sequential integers or slugs discoverable through the site's public campaign listings. The attacker submits a crafted campaign update request referencing a victim campaign owner's ID, injecting false or misleading update history content, which then triggers the plugin to dispatch notification emails to all of that campaign's backers - potentially spreading disinformation, damaging the campaign owner's reputation, or undermining donor trust. …
Remediation The primary fix is to update the WP Crowdfunding plugin to version 2.2.1 or later, which introduces the missing ownership verification check on campaign update endpoints. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
