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 CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) implies remote, unauthenticated exploitation of Uncanny Automator versions up to and including 7.7.1, but the specific plugin feature, endpoint, or configuration that exposes the missing authorization check is not described in the available sources. The description references 'Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels', suggesting the impact may depend on how access-control levels are configured in a given deployment, though the exact triggering configuration is not specified. Limiting factors: impact is confined to integrity (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability effect, and the precise unauthorized action an attacker can perform is unverified from the supplied data. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity Missing Authorization flaw (CWE-862) with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 (vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N). The vector indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring no privileges and no user interaction, but the impact is narrow: integrity-only and rated Low, with no confidentiality or availability impact. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' rather than act_now or emergency, consistent with a real-but-not-urgent issue. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no confirmed proof-of-concept are present in the supplied data, so there is no signal of active or imminent widespread exploitation - the single reference is the Patchstack database advisory, not verified exploit code. The signals are internally consistent (broad reachability, limited impact), so this reads as a genuine but lower-priority hardening fix rather than a high-CVSS-but-illusory issue; the main limitation is that the description does not identify the specific affected endpoint or action, so the concrete integrity effect cannot be scoped from the available data. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker sends a request directly to an access-control-protected function of the Uncanny Automator plugin that fails to verify the caller's authorization, performing an action or modifying data they should not be able to. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no authentication or user interaction is needed, but the impact is limited to integrity (I:L) with no data disclosure or outage. No verified public exploit code is present in the supplied data; the only reference is the Patchstack advisory. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 03, 2026
Unauthenticated remote attackers can bypass intended access-control restrictions in the WordPress plugin Uncanny Automator through version 7.7.1, because a function or endpoint lacks a proper authorization check (CWE-862). The CVSS 3.1 score is 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N), so the worst confirmed outcome is limited integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability effect; the specific endpoint, feature, or configuration that exposes the missing check is not described in the available sources. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at time of analysis, and vendor advisory details are available through Patchstack.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis: the supplied data lists affected versions only through 7.7.1 and does not state a fixed version, so confirm the current patched release with the vendor and the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/uncanny-automator/vulnerability/wordpress-uncanny-automator-plugin-7-7-1-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve before upgrading. Because the vulnerable feature or endpoint and its triggering configuration are not described in the available sources, no feature-level mitigation can be confirmed; the concrete option is to deactivate and remove the Uncanny Automator plugin until a fixed release is available, with the trade-off that all configured automations and trigger-based workflows on the site stop running. Monitor the advisory for the patched version and re-enable the plugin only after upgrading to it.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Uncanny Automator is a WordPress automation plugin that connects WordPress events and triggers to external services; the CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:uncanny_owl:uncanny_automator:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers the plugin across the affected version range up to and including 7.7.1. The root cause class is CWE-862 Missing Authorization: a code path performs an action without verifying that the caller holds the required capability or role, so the security decision rests on how access-control levels are configured in a given deployment rather than on an enforced server-side check. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates the flaw is reachable over the network without authentication and without user interaction, and the scope is unchanged with impact limited to integrity (I:L). The plugin feature, REST route, AJAX action, or configuration state that actually exposes the missing check, and therefore the precise unauthorized action an attacker can perform, is not described in the available sources, and the trigger is not described in the available sources.
