Missing Authorization vulnerability in Ability, Inc Accessibility Suite allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels. This issue affects Accessibility Suite: from n/a through 4.19.
AnalysisAI
Missing authorization in the WordPress Accessibility Suite plugin up to version 4.19 allows authenticated attackers with low privileges to exploit incorrectly configured access controls, leading to unauthorized modification of settings or data. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.4 (medium) and a low EPSS probability of 0.07%, with no evidence of active exploitation or public exploit code.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a Missing Authorization (CWE-862) flaw in the WordPress plugin Accessibility Suite by Ability, Inc. The plugin likely implements role-based access controls for its settings or features, but fails to properly enforce them for certain actions. CPE data indicates the affected product is the WordPress plugin 'online-accessibility' (Accessibility Suite) versions up to 4.19. The root cause is that the plugin does not verify whether the current user has the required permissions before executing sensitive operations, allowing low-privileged users (e.g., subscribers) to perform actions intended for administrators.
RemediationAI
Update the Accessibility Suite plugin to version 4.20 or later, as the vulnerability is fixed in that release. The vendor advisory from Patchstack provides details. As a workaround, restrict access to the WordPress admin area for low-privilege users if possible, but note that this may impact legitimate functionality. No other compensating controls are recommended as the patch is available.
