Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires only that a target site runs the Kit (formerly ConvertKit) WordPress plugin at version 3.4.6 or earlier; per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) it is remotely reachable with no authentication, no special privileges, and no user interaction against default installations. The description does not name the exact vulnerable feature, endpoint, or configuration setting, so the precise request path cannot be stated with confidence from available data. The main limiting factor is scope of impact rather than access: S:U with C:L/I:L/A:N means an attacker gains only limited unauthorized read/write to specific plugin data or functions, not full site takeover; upgrading past 3.4.6 removes exposure.

Impact

This is a mid-severity (CVSS 6.5) missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the Kit/ConvertKit WordPress plugin. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity issue requiring no privileges and no user interaction, which makes it broadly reachable, but impact is capped: S:U, C:L, I:L, A:N means only limited confidentiality and integrity exposure and no availability impact - consistent with an attacker reaching a function or data that should be access-controlled rather than achieving full compromise. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the input, so there is no signal of active exploitation or mass-scanning at this time; exploitation status is therefore 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' Net: this is a legitimate patch-worthy issue because it is unauthenticated and network-facing, but it is not currently an emergency-tier (KEV/weaponized) item - the limited C:L/I:L/A:N impact and absence of exploitation signals place it in routine-but-prompt remediation. Note the conflict in labeling: the vulnerability is Missing Authorization/Broken Access Control per CWE-862 and Patchstack, whereas the input tag calls it 'Authentication Bypass' - these are related but distinct and the CWE should be treated as authoritative.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request directly to a plugin endpoint or AJAX action that fails to verify the caller's authorization, allowing them to read or modify data/functionality that should be restricted. Because no authentication, privileges, or user interaction are required (PR:N/UI:N), the request can be issued remotely against any site running the vulnerable plugin version. No public proof-of-concept was identified in the provided data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 18, 2026

Missing authorization in the Kit (formerly ConvertKit) WordPress plugin through 3.4.6 lets unauthenticated remote attackers perform limited unauthorized reads and writes against plugin-managed data and functions. The flaw is a CWE-862 access-control gap rated CVSS 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N), affecting default installations with no privileges or user interaction required. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade the Kit (formerly ConvertKit) WordPress plugin to a version later than 3.4.6; the provided data does not specify the exact fixed release, so confirm the current patched version in the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/convertkit/vulnerability/wordpress-kit-formerly-convertkit-plugin-3-4-6-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve before updating. If immediate upgrading is not possible, consider temporarily deactivating the plugin, which removes email-marketing forms and related front-end functionality, or use a WAF to block unauthenticated requests to plugin-specific endpoints, noting that overly broad blocking may break legitimate public forms and subscription flows. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, but exposure is remote and unauthenticated per the CVSS vector.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is a WordPress plugin, Kit (formerly ConvertKit), which integrates email marketing forms and related functionality into WordPress. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) means one or more plugin endpoints or functions fail to verify that the requester has the appropriate capability or nonce before performing an action; the CVSS vector confirms network reachability with PR:N (unauthenticated), AC:L, and UI:N, while S:U and C:L/I:L/A:N limit impact to partial confidentiality and integrity within the plugin's scope rather than full site compromise. The provided data does not identify the exact vulnerable endpoint or configuration setting, and no CPE strings were supplied.
