DescriptionCVE.org

Missing Authorization vulnerability in Melapress Melapress File Monitor allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Melapress File Monitor: from n/a before 2.2.0.

AnalysisAI

In Melapress File Monitor plugin for WordPress before 2.2.0, missing authorization checks allow authenticated attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control, potentially leading to unauthorized modification of integrity or availability of monitored data. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.4 (medium) and has a low EPSS exploitation probability (0.06%), with no known active exploitation or public exploit code. A vendor patch in version 2.2.0 addresses the issue.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in the access control implementation of the Melapress File Monitor WordPress plugin (cpe:2.3:a:melapress:melapress_file_monitor). CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) indicates that the plugin fails to properly verify user permissions when performing certain actions, allowing lower-privileged authenticated users to bypass intended security restrictions. The plugin's functionality, which monitors file changes on a WordPress site, becomes vulnerable when such authorization checks are omitted, enabling unauthorized manipulation of the monitoring data or settings.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Melapress File Monitor version 2.2.0 or later, which fixes the missing authorization flaw. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict WordPress user roles to only trusted accounts and audit plugin permissions; note that limiting roles may reduce file monitoring functionality for legitimate users.
