Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to possess at least a WordPress subscriber-level account on the target installation, as confirmed by the CVSS PR:L metric. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (Medium) reflects a realistic threat model: network-accessible (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), requiring only low-privilege authentication (PR:L), with high integrity impact and no confidentiality or availability impact (C:N/I:H/A:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers or already holds a subscriber account on a WordPress site running Link Whisper Premium 2.9.0 or earlier. The attacker sends a crafted authenticated HTTP request to a plugin endpoint that lacks proper capability checks, triggering an unauthorized action - such as modifying internal link configurations or injecting links into posts - without possessing the editor or admin role normally required. … |
| Remediation | Update Link Whisper Premium to a version above 2.9.0; the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/link-whisper-premium/vulnerability/wordpress-link-whisper-premium-plugin-2-9-0-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve should be consulted for the exact patched release version, which was not independently confirmed in the available data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
