Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires only that the target WordPress site has the 10Web Social Photo Feed plugin installed and active at version 1.4.35 or earlier; per CVSS PR:N/UI:N it needs no authentication and no user interaction, and per AV:N/AC:L it is remotely reachable with low complexity against default installations. The primary limiting factors are that the site must run this specific plugin at a vulnerable version, and the impact is bounded to Low confidentiality and Low integrity (no availability/full-compromise impact), meaning the attacker gains unauthorized access to plugin-controlled data or actions rather than complete site control. The exact vulnerable endpoint/feature is not named in the provided description.

Impact

This is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) broken access control / missing authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the 10Web Social Photo Feed WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.4.35), reported by Patchstack. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N indicates network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction, but only partial confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact - consistent with an attacker invoking plugin functionality or reading/writing data they should not have access to, rather than full site takeover. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, POC reference, or SSVC decision data was provided in the input, so there is no signal of active exploitation or published exploit code; this appears to be a Patchstack-researched disclosure rather than an in-the-wild threat. The practical risk is moderate: easy to exploit once a public exploit exists and affects any site running the vulnerable plugin, but the limited (Low) impact scope means it is a patch-when-convenient item rather than an emergency, absent any KEV or EPSS escalation signal. Key missing data: no EPSS, no KEV, no POC status, and no explicit fixed version in the provided references - only an upper-bound affected range (<= 1.4.35).

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated remote attacker sends crafted HTTP requests to an exposed plugin endpoint (e.g., an AJAX or REST action lacking a capability/authorization check) on a WordPress site running 10Web Social Photo Feed <= 1.4.35. Because the endpoint does not verify authorization, the attacker can access or modify plugin-controlled data or settings they should not be able to reach. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data, but the low attack complexity and lack of authentication make exploitation straightforward once request details are known.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026

Unauthenticated broken access control in the 10Web Social Photo Feed WordPress plugin (versions 1.4.35 and earlier) allows remote attackers to reach plugin functionality that should require authorization, giving limited read and write access to plugin-controlled data rather than full site compromise (CVSS 6.5, CWE-862, C:L/I:L/A:N). The CVSS vector confirms no authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N) are needed, and the attack is network-reachable at low complexity, so any site with the vulnerable plugin active is exposed without credentials. Exploitation is bounded by the Low confidentiality and integrity impact and by the need for the specific plugin/version; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data, so the first step is to confirm the current fixed release against the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wd-instagram-feed/vulnerability/wordpress-10web-social-photo-feed-plugin-1-4-35-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve and update the 10Web Social Photo Feed plugin to the latest available version as soon as a fix is published; because CVSS 6.5 with PR:N means unauthenticated exposure, treat this as a scheduled-but-prioritized update rather than a low-urgency item. If no patched release can be applied, the most effective compensating control is to deactivate and remove the plugin where its Instagram/social photo feed functionality is not required - this fully eliminates the attack surface but obviously removes the feed from the site. Where the plugin must stay active, restrict access to its endpoints at the perimeter: block or rate-limit unauthenticated requests to the plugin's paths (for example /wp-content/plugins/wd-instagram-feed/ and any associated admin-ajax.php or REST routes) with a WAF or reverse-proxy rule, accepting that this may break legitimate front-end feed rendering for anonymous visitors. Additional hardening includes monitoring for anomalous unauthenticated requests touching plugin routes and, if the affected action is administrative in nature, requiring authentication or IP allow-listing for it at the web server layer.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a member of the broken access control family that is endemic to WordPress plugins: a function, AJAX action, REST route, or admin-post handler is registered and reachable without an accompanying capability check (current_user_can()) or nonce/authorization verification, so the code path executes for callers it was never intended to serve. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:10web:10web_social_photo_feed:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, confirming that the whole product line as tracked is in scope and that the affected range is expressed by version rather than by individual build; the plugin is distributed under the wd-instagram-feed slug (visible in the Patchstack advisory URL), which is how it appears in the WordPress.org/plugin ecosystem. Because the vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, the vulnerable endpoint is reachable directly over HTTP by an unauthenticated client, and because Scope is Unchanged with only Low confidentiality and integrity impact, the flaw yields unauthorized access to plugin-managed data or actions rather than privilege escalation to administrator or remote code execution. The specific vulnerable endpoint or feature is not named in the available data, so the exact request path cannot be confirmed from these sources.
