| Impact | The CVSS 5.3 score reflects medium severity with a network attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), and no privilege requirements (PR:N), indicating the vulnerability is trivial to exploit remotely. The integrity impact (I:L) without confidentiality or availability impact suggests attackers can modify content or settings but cannot read sensitive data or cause denial of service. The absence of reported KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerability) status and public proof-of-concept code limits immediate exploitation risk, though the straightforward nature of authorization bypasses typically results in rapid weaponization once discovered. For WordPress site owners, this represents a real but not critical priority—organizations running this plugin should patch promptly, but this is not equivalent to an actively exploited critical RCE. The automatable nature of authorization checks (no user interaction required) elevates practical risk relative to the numeric CVSS score. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker discovers the Construction Landing Page plugin installed on a WordPress site and identifies an exposed admin AJAX endpoint or REST route lacking proper authorization checks. The attacker crafts a simple HTTP POST request to modify landing page content, settings, or metadata without providing valid authentication credentials. Because the plugin fails to verify the user's capability or role before processing the request, the modification succeeds, allowing the attacker to deface the site, inject malicious links, or redirect visitors to phishing pages. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 13, 2026
The Construction Landing Page plugin through version 1.4.1 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to modify data through improperly configured access controls. An attacker can exploit this flaw to perform unauthorized changes to the application without authentication or user interaction. No patch is currently available for this vulnerability.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
A missing authorization vulnerability exists in raratheme Construction Landing Page plugin versions up to 1.4.1, where incorrectly configured access controls allow unauthenticated attackers to perform unauthorized modifications. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.3 with network-based attack vector requiring no user interaction, enabling attackers to modify data without proper privilege validation. While no active exploitation in the wild has been widely reported, the low attack complexity and absence of authentication requirements make this a moderate-priority issue for affected WordPress installations.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade the raratheme Construction Landing Page plugin to the latest patched version (1.4.2 or higher) available from WordPress.org or the vendor's official repository. Verify the upgrade via the plugin management dashboard and confirm the version string has incremented. As a temporary measure before patching is feasible, restrict plugin functionality by disabling the plugin entirely if non-critical, or implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block suspicious state-change requests to the plugin's endpoints. Additionally, audit user roles and remove unnecessary editor/administrator permissions from untrusted accounts, and enable security monitoring to detect unusual modification activities on affected sites.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability stems from CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a common weakness where access control checks are either absent or improperly implemented. The raratheme Construction Landing Page plugin, identifiable via CPE string cpe:2.3:a:raratheme:construction-landing-page, fails to enforce proper authorization checks before allowing state-changing operations. This typically manifests in WordPress plugins as missing nonce verification, absent capability checks (wp_verify_nonce, current_user_can), or exposed REST API endpoints without proper permission callbacks. The issue affects the plugin architecture itself rather than a third-party library, indicating flawed security implementation in the plugin's core functionality handlers.
