Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No authentication is required (confirmed by PR:N in the provided CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U vector), and no special server configuration is needed beyond having the WowAddons plugin installed and active on any WordPress site accessible from the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (Medium) is anchored by an AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N attack vector - trivially reachable by any unauthenticated internet actor without preconditions - while impact is bounded to I:L and A:L with C:N, preventing elevation to high or critical severity. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated external attacker enumerates a target WordPress site and confirms the presence of WowAddons 1.6.8 or earlier via standard plugin detection techniques. The attacker then crafts an HTTP POST request to the WordPress AJAX endpoint (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) with the action parameter corresponding to an unprotected plugin handler, executing a privileged function without supplying credentials. … |
| Remediation | Update WowAddons to a version above 1.6.8 once WPXPO releases a patched build; monitor both the WordPress.org plugin repository and the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/product-addons/vulnerability/wordpress-wowaddons-plugin-1-6-8-broken-access-control-vulnerability for confirmation of a fixed release version, as no exact patched version was confirmed in available intelligence at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
