MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The target must run the VideoWhisper Broadcast Live Video WordPress plugin at version 7.3.7 or earlier, which is reachable over the network. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication, elevated privileges, or user interaction is required, so default installations are exposed. The primary limiting factors are the narrow real-world footprint of this specific plugin and the confidentiality-only impact (C:L/I:N/A:N) - successful exploitation yields unauthorized access to restricted data/functions but no data modification or service disruption; exact prerequisites (which specific endpoint/action lacks the check) are not detailed in the available advisory. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity Missing Authorization flaw (CWE-862) with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3. The vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation requiring no user interaction, which raises its theoretical reachability. However, impact is strictly limited to confidentiality (C:L/I:N/A:N) - an attacker can read or access data they should not, but cannot modify data or disrupt availability. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC is present in the supplied data, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or weaponization; the signals are consistent with a low-urgency information-disclosure/access-control gap rather than a critical priority. The only intelligence source is a single Patchstack advisory, so corroboration is thin. Net assessment: real but low-to-moderate priority - patch during normal maintenance unless the affected plugin handles sensitive stream data. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends crafted HTTP requests to a WordPress site running the Broadcast Live Video plugin (≤7.3.7), invoking a plugin endpoint or action that lacks a proper capability/authorization check. Because of the missing access-control check, the attacker reads or reaches functionality or data intended only for authorized users. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 19, 2026
Missing authorization (CWE-862) in the VideoWhisper Broadcast Live Video WordPress plugin through version 7.3.7 allows unauthenticated, remote attackers to reach plugin functionality that should be access-controlled, exposing limited confidential data or restricted operations (CVSS 3.1 score 5.3, confidentiality-only). Default installations are exposed because the CVSS vector is PR:N/UI:N, but no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis and there is no CISA KEV confirmation of active exploitation. No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data; monitor the Patchstack advisory for a fixed release and update the plugin as soon as one is published. Until then, the most effective control is to deactivate and remove Broadcast Live Video if live streaming is not required (side effect: loss of streaming functionality). If it must remain active, restrict access to the plugin's endpoints at the web server, reverse proxy, or WAF - for example, block unauthenticated requests to the plugin's AJAX/REST actions or require site authentication for those paths (trade-off: broad blocks on admin-ajax.php or the REST API can break other plugins and site features, so scope rules to the plugin's specific routes). Enable logging and alerting for anomalous requests to the plugin, and use virtual patching/WAF rules to compensate for the missing authorization check. Validate any future update against the vendor advisory before deployment.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Broadcast Live Video is a WordPress plugin, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:videowhisper.com:broadcast_live_video, that integrates live video streaming features into WordPress sites. The issue is a missing authorization check (CWE-862): one or more plugin actions or functions do not perform an adequate capability or permission check, allowing a network attacker without an account to invoke them. The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N indicates the vulnerable surface is remotely reachable with no authentication or user interaction, and impact is limited to confidentiality; the available advisory does not specify the exact endpoint or action that lacks the check. Because the plugin runs inside WordPress, exposure depends on it being installed and active on a reachable site.
