MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates a network-accessible endpoint requiring no user interaction or privileges, which normally elevates risk; however, the CVSS base score is moderate (5.3) because the confidentiality impact is limited (C:L) and there is no integrity or availability impact (I:N/A:N). The extremely low EPSS score (0.02%, 4th percentile) strongly signals that real-world exploitation is uncommon, suggesting either: (1) the vulnerability is difficult to weaponize in practice despite low technical barriers, (2) the affected functionality is not widely targeted by attackers, or (3) the exposure window is narrow. No public exploit code or active CISA KEV confirmation is provided. This is a classic example of high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk: the attack surface is low-friction, but threat actors have not prioritized this particular plugin vulnerability. Organizations running Wp Ultimate Review should patch, but this is not a critical emergency compared to high-EPSS vulnerabilities. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker probes the Wp Ultimate Review plugin's endpoints (e.g., API routes or admin pages) without logging in and discovers that access control checks are missing, allowing them to read review data, user feedback, or other protected content that should require authentication. Because the attack requires no authentication, complexity, or user interaction, an automated scanner could quickly identify and exploit multiple instances of the vulnerable plugin across the internet; however, the limited confidentiality impact (no data modification, no system compromise) and the rarity of real-world exploitation attempts (EPSS 0.02%) suggest that while technically exploitable, this vulnerability is not actively weaponized at scale. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 08, 2026
Missing authorization in Roxnor Wp Ultimate Review plugin versions up to 2.3.8 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access restricted functionality through incorrectly configured access control security levels, resulting in limited information disclosure. The vulnerability carries a low EPSS exploitation probability (0.02%, 4th percentile) and has not been confirmed as actively exploited, though the simple attack vector (network-accessible, no complexity, no authentication required) means opportunistic exploitation is feasible.
RemediationAI
Update Roxnor Wp Ultimate Review to a version later than 2.3.8; the exact patched version number is not specified in available data, so administrators should check the plugin's official repository or the Patchstack advisory for the recommended upgrade target. Immediately apply the patch through the WordPress plugin management interface or by manual update. Until patching is complete, review and restrict access to the plugin's endpoints through WordPress user role management and, if possible, Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block unauthenticated access to sensitive plugin functions. Verify that access control checks are properly enforced post-patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This is a classic broken access control vulnerability (CWE-862) in a WordPress plugin. The plugin fails to properly validate user permissions before exposing sensitive operations or data endpoints. Roxnor Wp Ultimate Review is a WordPress plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:roxnor:wp_ultimate_review:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) that appears to implement review functionality; the missing authorization controls allow bypass of intended security restrictions on access levels, enabling unauthenticated users to read protected content or perform unintended actions. WordPress plugins execute in the context of the WordPress application, and improper authorization checks-especially when absent entirely-are a common vulnerability class in the WordPress ecosystem.
