Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The WP Data Access plugin must be installed and active on the target WordPress site in version 5.5.80 or earlier. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.9 reflects a meaningful tension: C:H (High Confidentiality) indicates the data at risk is significant, while AC:H substantially reduces the exploitability floor compared to a straightforward access bypass. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated remote attacker targeting a WordPress site running WP Data Access 5.5.80 or earlier sends a crafted HTTP request to a plugin endpoint or AJAX handler that lacks the required authorization check. After satisfying the high-complexity conditions imposed by the AC:H rating - such as a specific plugin configuration state or request parameter combination - the attacker bypasses access control and reads protected data, such as database records or restricted table contents, without needing a WordPress account. …
Remediation Update the WP Data Access plugin to a version above 5.5.80 via the WordPress admin panel or the WordPress plugin repository. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
