Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
The WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin through 1.5.7 does not check the status or ownership of a listing before returning its content through one of its public AJAX actions, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read draft and unapproved listings belonging to other users.
AnalysisAI
WP Directory Kit, a WordPress directory/listing plugin, exposes the content of draft and unapproved listings to anyone who can reach its public AJAX actions. Versions through 1.5.7 omit status and ownership checks before returning listing content, so unauthenticated attackers can enumerate other users' unpublished submissions (CWE-200, information disclosure). …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the WP Directory Kit plugin to be active on a WordPress site at version 1.5.7 or earlier and its public AJAX action to be reachable - which is the default deployment state for a plugin whose front-end serves listing content to anonymous visitors, so no non-default configuration is needed for the vulnerable handler itself. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 5.3 with vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated read of limited confidentiality value - which matches the description exactly, and the low EPSS of 0.14% (4th percentile) confirms the community does not expect broad exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Update WP Directory Kit to a release later than 1.5.7 - the input data states affected versions are 'through 1.5.7' but does NOT specify the first patched version, so confirm the fixed build on the plugin's WordPress.org page or the WPScan advisory (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/69d10ee3-0d36-47d1-b5bf-88b8516d99f4/) before declaring remediation complete; no patch version should be assumed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
