The Content Mask WordPress plugin before 1.8.5.5 does not check the capability required to publish the post type being created, allowing users with a role as low as Contributor to publish posts and pages on the site without holding the publish capability.

The root cause is a missing capability check (CWE-269) when the plugin registers and handles its custom post type publishing workflow. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated session with at minimum a Contributor role on the target WordPress site. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-assigned CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N yields a score of 2.7 (Low). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who holds or registers a Contributor account on a target WordPress site with the Content Mask plugin installed navigates to the plugin's custom post type interface and submits a publish request. Because the plugin omits the capability check, WordPress accepts and publishes the content, bypassing the editorial review queue that Contributors are otherwise subject to. |
| Remediation | Update the Content Mask WordPress plugin to version 1.8.5.5 or later; vendor patch is confirmed available per the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/1a78993c-1e5c-43fb-9aa4-13edc24100ee/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
