DescriptionCVE.org

The wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.5. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to take over another guest author's forum post and modify its title, body, author name, and stored owner email address. This requires that guest posting and editing are enabled on the forum, and that the attacker knows the target guest author's email address.

AnalysisAI

Authorization bypass in the wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress (all versions up to and including 3.1.5) lets an authenticated attacker with subscriber-level access or higher take over another guest author's forum post and rewrite its title, body, author name, and stored owner email address. Exploitation is conditional rather than automatic: the forum must be configured with BOTH guest posting AND guest editing enabled (a non-default deployment choice), and the attacker must already know the specific target guest author's email address, which functions as the record selector. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires all of the following: (1) an authenticated account with subscriber-level access or above on the target site; (2) the wpForo forum configured to allow BOTH guest posting AND guest editing (a non-default deployment choice); and (3) prior knowledge of the specific target guest author's email address, which acts as the record selector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a low-severity authorization flaw (vendor CVSS 4.3, CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) whose real-world priority is minor. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upstream fix available (changeset/commit); released patched version not independently confirmed - the reference https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3702319%40wpforo&new=3702319%40wpforo indicates the corrective change, but no tagged patched version is confirmed in the supplied data, so verify the currently published wpForo release on wordpress.org and upgrade past the 3.1.5 source, then confirm the diff against the cited files (classes/Posts.php, classes/Members.php, classes/Actions.php, includes/hooks.php, includes/functions.php) before considering the site fixed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
