1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an existing authenticated account on the target WordPress site at low privilege (CVSS PR:L), consistent with a Missing Authorization flaw where the attacker is already a logged-in user (e.g. subscriber/customer level) and abuses a myCred action that fails to enforce the correct capability check. The affected software is the myCred WordPress plugin, versions from n/a through 4.0.2. No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and the vector is network-reachable (AV:N). LIMITING FACTORS: the attacker must first obtain a valid account on the site, so sites that do not allow self-registration or that restrict account creation substantially raise the bar; impact is limited to integrity (C:N/A:N), so no data disclosure or denial of service results. The exact vulnerable action/endpoint and the precise unauthorized operation are not described in the available sources.

Impact

This is a genuine but low-to-moderate priority issue, not a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (medium), driven by a network attack vector with low complexity but requiring privileges (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) and yielding only limited integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability loss (C:N/I:L/A:N) - consistent with a CWE-862 Missing Authorization flaw where an already-authenticated low-privilege user performs an action they should not be allowed to. No EPSS score was supplied, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input. The vulnerability is NOT on the CISA KEV list and there is no confirmed active exploitation. The only reference is a Patchstack advisory (an analysis/catalog entry), not verified working exploit code, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', which aligns with the medium severity and absence of active-exploitation signals: a flaw worth patching on a normal cycle rather than an out-of-band scramble. The main caveat is that the description is terse ('Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels') and does not name the specific endpoint or action affected, so the precise real-world impact of the integrity change is unverified from the available data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already holds a low-privilege authenticated account on the WordPress site (for example a registered subscriber on a site where myCred manages points/gamification) sends a crafted request to a myCred action that lacks a proper capability/authorization check, performing an operation reserved for higher-privilege users. Given AV:N/AC:L and I:L, this allows limited unauthorized modification of data over the network without user interaction. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the specific affected endpoint is not described in the available sources.

AnalysisAIv1 – Nov 03, 2026

The myCred WordPress plugin (all versions through 4.0.2) fails to enforce authorization checks on at least one of its actions, letting a logged-in low-privilege user such as a subscriber or customer trigger operations that should require higher capabilities. The impact is integrity-only - site data or myCred point balances and settings may be altered - with no confidentiality or availability impact and no user interaction required beyond having an account. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the issue is rated low-to-moderate priority for remediation within the current monthly cycle.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released fixed version is listed in the available data - the advisory covers releases through 4.0.2 - so check the Patchstack entry (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/mycred/vulnerability/wordpress-mycred-plugin-4-0-2-broken-access-control-vulnerability-2?_s_id=cve) and the plugin's WordPress.org changelog for a release later than 4.0.2 and upgrade as soon as one is published, scheduling the work within the current monthly patch cycle rather than as an emergency. Because exploitation requires a low-privilege authenticated account, the effective compensating controls narrow the population of accounts that can reach the vulnerable action: disable open self-registration and require administrator approval for new accounts (side effect: onboarding friction and manual review load), and audit existing users for unnecessary subscriber/customer-level accounts, removing or downgrading any that are not needed (side effect: may disrupt legitimate members). If the vulnerable action can be identified from the advisory, restrict it by role via a capability-management plugin or a WAF rule scoped to that AJAX/route path (side effect: legitimate low-privilege flows that share the endpoint may break). These are interim measures only; applying the patched plugin release is the complete fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details

myCred is a WordPress plugin that implements a points, rewards and membership-currency system, exposing AJAX handlers and other entry points that registered users interact with. The flaw is classified CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): a function or action reachable by an authenticated request does not perform the appropriate capability or ownership check before acting. In WordPress, correct enforcement typically means pairing a nonce check with a current_user_can() capability test (or an explicit ownership comparison) - CWE-862 means one of those gates is absent or misconfigured, so the action is governed only by the fact that the caller is logged in. Per the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, the request is network-reachable, requires a low-privilege authenticated account, needs no interaction, and only degrades integrity. The specific vulnerable action, endpoint and the exact unauthorized operation are not described in the available sources. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:mycred:mycred:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected component is the myCred plugin itself, and the Patchstack report tags the issue as broken access control / authentication bypass in a WordPress plugin context.
