Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated account with the Contributor role or higher on a WordPress site running WPZOOM Portfolio Lite before 1.4.34; no victim user interaction and no special plugin configuration are needed. Exploitation is limited by the need for a pre-existing low-privilege account - most impactful on multi-author sites or sites that allow open contributor registration. Impact is confined to content integrity (reassigning/moving others' posts and pages into portfolio items and breaking their URLs); no data disclosure or service disruption.

Impact

This is a moderate-risk broken-access-control (IDOR, CWE-639) flaw in the WPZOOM Portfolio Lite WordPress plugin before 1.4.34. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N, 4.9) correctly reflects network reach, low attack complexity, no user interaction, and an integrity-only impact with no confidentiality or availability loss. However, the PR:H (high privileges) rating conflicts with the description, which states exploitation is possible by 'users with the contributor role and above' - Contributor is a LOW-privilege authenticated role, so PR:L is more accurate; this discrepancy slightly understates how easily the flaw can be reached on sites that permit contributor registration. No EPSS score and no SSVC decision data were provided, so automatability and exploitation-maturity signals cannot be quantified. Publicly available exploit code exists (reported by WPScan) but there is no CISA KEV listing and no evidence of active exploitation, so this should be treated as a patch-soon issue rather than an emergency. Net: real but bounded - it requires an existing authenticated account and only corrupts content integrity.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who holds (or registers for) a Contributor-level account on a WordPress site running the vulnerable plugin sends a crafted request to change the post type and order of a post or page they do not own. Because the plugin never verifies edit authorization, the victim's posts and pages are silently converted into portfolio items and removed from their original listings and URLs. Public exploit code exists (WPScan), lowering the effort required.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

Broken access control in WPZOOM Portfolio Lite before 1.4.34 allows authenticated users with the WordPress Contributor role or higher to convert other users' posts and pages into portfolio items, altering order and removing the content from its original listings and URLs. The flaw requires only a low-privilege account and no victim interaction, so it is most impactful on multi-author sites or those with open contributor registration; publicly available exploit code exists. The vendor has released version 1.4.34 to address the missing authorization check.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade WPZOOM Portfolio Lite to version 1.4.34 or later, available through the WordPress plugin update mechanism or the vendor's release channel. If immediate upgrade is not possible, reduce exposure by restricting Contributor-and-above accounts to trusted authors, disabling open contributor registration, and auditing existing users for unnecessary privileges; these measures can disrupt multi-author publishing workflows and do not fully remove the flaw. Also review posts and pages for unexpected conversion to the portfolio post type and restore original slugs/URLs from backups where needed. Refer to the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/a6d3be6f-2203-4bc3-9f65-4eba2e9d2bc4/ and NVD at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-110514.

Technical ContextAI · show details

WPZOOM Portfolio Lite is a WordPress plugin that registers a custom portfolio post type and provides ordering controls. The root cause is CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key), specifically a missing capability check such as current_user_can('edit_post', $post_id) before updating a post's post_type and menu_order. WordPress role semantics let Contributors create and edit their own posts but not modify other users' content; the plugin trusts user-supplied post identifiers and action parameters, so a Contributor can supply another author's post ID and have it converted into a portfolio item. This is an IDOR-style broken access control issue in the WordPress plugin ecosystem; it affects integrity of content structure and URLs, not confidentiality or availability, and CPE data identifies the affected component as wpzoom_portfolio_lite before 1.4.34.

DescriptionCVE.org

The WPZOOM Portfolio Lite WordPress plugin before 1.4.34 does not check that a user is allowed to edit a post before changing its type and order, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to convert any other user's posts and pages into portfolio items, removing them from their original listings and URLs.
