DescriptionCVE.org

Missing Authorization vulnerability in Wpbens Filter Plus filter-plus allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Filter Plus: from n/a through <= 1.1.17.

AnalysisAI

Wpbens Filter Plus plugin versions 1.1.17 and earlier allow authenticated users to bypass access controls and modify data they should not have permission to access, due to missing authorization checks on sensitive functionality. An authenticated attacker with low privileges can exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels to read or modify restricted information, impacting the confidentiality and integrity of protected content.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability stems from CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a fundamental access control flaw where the application fails to implement proper authorization checks before allowing sensitive operations. The Wpbens Filter Plus WordPress plugin, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:wpbens:filter_plus:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, lacks adequate privilege validation on filter configuration endpoints. Rather than enforcing role-based or capability-based restrictions, the plugin allows any authenticated user (PR:L in CVSS vector) to interact with functionality intended for administrators or higher-privilege accounts. This is a server-side authorization failure in a WordPress plugin, where the plugin should verify user capabilities before exposing filter management or configuration endpoints.

RemediationAI

Update the Wpbens Filter Plus plugin to a version newer than 1.1.17 as soon as a patched release becomes available. Site administrators should review the plugin's official repository or vendor advisories for the latest version that addresses this authorization vulnerability. If an immediate update is not available, consider temporarily disabling the Filter Plus plugin or restricting its use to trusted administrators only via WordPress user role management. Verify after patching that access control restrictions are properly enforced by testing with low-privilege user accounts to confirm they cannot access filter configuration endpoints.
