AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Low-priv authenticated attacker (PR:L) exploits a network-reachable action but the payload needs an admin to view the report (UI:R); arbitrary SQL yields full C/I/A impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The WP Business Intelligence Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.0. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify stored SQL queries, which can lead to privilege escalation via arbitrary SQL execution when the modified query is viewed by an administrator.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in the WP Business Intelligence Lite WordPress plugin (all versions through 3.2.0) allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to tamper with stored SQL queries because the plugin fails to enforce a capability/authorization check on the query-modification action (CWE-862). When an administrator later views the maliciously altered query, the attacker's arbitrary SQL executes in the admin context, enabling account takeover or full site compromise. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires (1) an authenticated WordPress account of at least Subscriber level on the target site - obtainable for free where open registration is enabled - and (2) administrator interaction, because the injected SQL only executes when an administrator opens/views the tampered stored query in the WP Business Intelligence Lite reporting interface (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 8.0) frames this as network-reachable and low-complexity but gated by two real limiters: it requires an authenticated account (PR:L) and administrator interaction (UI:R) to trigger the payload, so it is not a fully unauthenticated drive-by. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers a low-privilege Subscriber account (or uses an existing one) on a WordPress site running WP Business Intelligence Lite 3.2.0 or earlier, then sends the unauthorized query-modification request to inject a malicious SQL statement into a stored report. When an administrator subsequently opens that report in wp-admin, the attacker's SQL runs with the database access of the plugin, allowing the attacker to escalate privileges - for example by promoting their account to administrator or altering credentials. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patched version is identified in the available data - versions through 3.2.0 are affected and no fixed release is cited - so treat this as an unpatched issue and monitor the plugin page and the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/a7e35f18-7659-4b97-b99f-b57ac941cb22?source=cve) for a release above 3.2.0, applying it immediately once published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Immediately disable WP Business Intelligence Lite and audit all user accounts with Subscriber role or above for suspicious query modifications. …
