Impact

The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 reflects a moderate-severity issue with important contextual factors: the attack vector is network-based (AV:N), attack complexity is low (AC:L), no privileges are required (PR:N), and no user interaction is needed (UI:N), indicating an easily exploitable vulnerability from an attack perspective. However, the impact scope is unchanged (S:U) with no confidentiality loss (C:N), limited integrity impact (I:L), and no availability impact (A:N), meaning attackers cannot exfiltrate data or cause outages. The integrity-only impact (ability to modify but not read or delete) suggests the real-world risk depends heavily on the criticality of the data being protected. Without EPSS score or KEV status data provided, the exploitation likelihood cannot be precisely quantified; however, authorization flaws in plugins are frequently targeted once disclosed. The lack of complexity and privilege requirements makes this a genuine priority, but the limited integrity scope prevents it from being critical. Organizations running this plugin should treat this as a medium-to-high priority remediation target.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker discovers the vulnerable Book Landing Page plugin active on a WordPress site and crafts a simple HTTP request (GET or POST) to the unprotected endpoint without authentication credentials. The attacker modifies the landing page content, injecting malicious text, phishing links, or promotional content that is immediately published to site visitors. Because the attack requires no interaction from legitimate users and the endpoint is network-accessible with low complexity, the attacker can automate bulk modifications across multiple affected sites, affecting search engine rankings, user trust, and potentially serving as a vector for subsequent social engineering or credential harvesting attacks.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 13, 2026

Improper access control in raratheme Book Landing Page through version 1.2.7 permits unauthenticated attackers to modify content or data without proper authorization checks. The vulnerability stems from missing authentication validation on protected operations, allowing remote exploitation without user interaction. No patch is currently available.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Mar 13, 2026 - 16:57 CVSS 5.3

A missing authorization vulnerability exists in raratheme's Book Landing Page plugin (versions up to 1.2.7) that allows unauthenticated attackers to modify sensitive data through incorrectly configured access control mechanisms. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.3 with network-based attack vector and no privilege requirements, enabling integrity compromise without authentication. While the CVSS score is moderate and there is no indication of active exploitation in the wild, the lack of access controls represents a fundamental security misconfiguration that could allow unauthorized content manipulation.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to upgrade the Book Landing Page plugin to version 1.2.8 or later, which should include proper authorization checks on all data-modifying endpoints. Users should immediately apply the patch through their WordPress dashboard (Plugins > Installed Plugins > Book Landing Page > Update) or via WordPress CLI (wp plugin update book-landing-page). As an interim workaround until patching is possible, administrators should disable the plugin and reactivate it only after upgrading, or restrict access to wp-admin and plugin endpoints using web application firewall (WAF) rules or .htaccess restrictions to limit exposure. Additionally, conduct a security audit of recent changes to book landing pages to identify any unauthorized modifications that may have occurred, and consider implementing role-based access controls at the application level to enforce least-privilege principles.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability stems from CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a class of flaws where software fails to properly verify that a user has permission to perform a requested action before executing it. The Book Landing Page plugin, developed by raratheme, implements endpoint handlers or functionality that accept user requests without sufficient authorization checks. The affected component likely manages book landing page content, metadata, or configuration through web-accessible endpoints that do not validate user privileges or session tokens. This is typical in WordPress plugin architectures where custom post types or admin AJAX actions are exposed without proper capability checks (wp_verify_nonce, current_user_can, etc.). The vulnerability affects versions 1.2.7 and earlier, suggesting the authorization framework may have been added or improved in later versions.
