Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated account with at least low privileges on the target site (CVSS PR:L) - in a WCFM Marketplace deployment this is typically a registered vendor or customer account rather than an anonymous visitor. No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and the flaw is network-reachable with low attack complexity (AV:N/AC:L). Limiting factors: the authentication prerequisite blocks purely anonymous attackers, scope is unchanged (S:U), and impact is confined to limited integrity modification (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability effect. The specific feature, endpoint, or configuration that lacks the authorization check is not described in the available sources.

Impact

This is a genuine but modest-priority issue, not a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/C:N/I:L/A:N, base 4.3, Medium) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw that nonetheless REQUIRES an authenticated account (PR:L) and yields only limited integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability loss. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', consistent with a bounded, authenticated broken-access-control bug rather than an act_now/emergency item. Not listed in CISA KEV, so there is no confirmed active exploitation. No EPSS score was supplied in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified here. The only reference is a Patchstack database advisory page, which is a vendor catalog entry, not verified working exploit code. Net: a real, patch-worthy authenticated access-control defect of medium severity; prioritize within normal monthly patching, not as an incident.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already holds a low-privileged account on the WooCommerce/WCFM Marketplace site (e.g., a registered vendor or customer) sends an authenticated request to a plugin endpoint that fails to verify the caller's authorization, letting them perform or alter an action reserved for higher-privileged users. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L with only low integrity impact, the action is remotely reachable and easy to trigger but limited to partial, unauthorized data modification. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis; the only reference is a Patchstack advisory, not verified exploit code.

AnalysisAIv1 – Nov 07, 2026

Missing authorization in WC Lovers WCFM Marketplace through 3.8.3 allows an authenticated low-privilege user, typically a registered vendor or customer, to perform limited unauthorized integrity modifications on the WordPress site. Confidentiality and availability are not affected, no user interaction is required, and the vuln.today priority is this_month. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and the specific endpoint or configuration lacking the authorization check is not described in the available sources.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or exact fixed version is identified in the supplied data; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wc-multivendor-marketplace/vulnerability/wordpress-wcfm-marketplace-plugin-3-8-3-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve and update WCFM Marketplace to a release that addresses CVE-2026-120849 when one is published. Because exploitation requires an authenticated low-privilege vendor or customer account, temporary compensating controls include restricting or disabling untrusted vendor/customer registration and auditing existing low-privilege accounts and roles; these measures reduce the authenticated attack surface but may block legitimate onboarding and do not fix the underlying missing authorization check.

Technical ContextAI · show details

WCFM Marketplace is a WordPress multivendor marketplace plugin identified in the CPE data as wc_lovers:wcfm_marketplace. The root cause is CWE-862 Missing Authorization, a broken access control class in which a functionality or endpoint does not verify that the requesting user has the required capability or role. The assessed CVSS vector is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, meaning network reachability, low attack complexity, a low-privileged authenticated account prerequisite, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and limited integrity impact only. The evidence does not identify the exact feature, endpoint, or configuration that lacks the authorization check, so the trigger is not described in the available sources.
