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 | Exploitation requires an authenticated account with high-level privileges within the WordPress installation running B2BKing (PR:H per CVSS vector). This limits the attack surface to internal users, compromised privileged accounts, or scenarios where an attacker has already achieved elevated WordPress access. The vulnerability is network-reachable (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and requires no user interaction once authenticated access is obtained. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag suggests the misconfigured access control may allow privilege escalation within B2BKing's own tier system, but exploitation is still gated by the requirement for prior high-privilege authentication - unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by the CVSS vector. The vulnerability does not affect installations not using the B2BKing plugin. SSVC rates the attack as not automatable, indicating manual exploitation steps are required. |
| Impact | The overall risk is low-to-moderate. The CVSS score of 4.9 (Medium) is consistent with PR:H, meaning the attack is limited to already highly-privileged accounts, significantly reducing the attack surface. The integrity impact is high (I:H), but confidentiality (C:N) and availability (A:N) are unaffected, narrowing the blast radius to data or configuration tampering. EPSS of 0.02% at the 7th percentile corroborates a very low probability of exploitation in the wild at time of analysis. CISA SSVC independently rates exploitation as none and technical impact as partial, aligning with the low EPSS signal. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag creates a potential signal conflict with PR:H in the CVSS vector - if the vulnerability were a true authentication bypass it would typically carry PR:N. This conflict should be verified against the vendor advisory; the most likely interpretation is that a high-privileged B2B user can bypass authorization tiers within the plugin rather than bypassing WordPress authentication entirely. No public exploit or KEV listing has been identified. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated WordPress user with high-privileged access to the B2BKing plugin (such as a shop manager or a B2B account holder with elevated tier permissions) sends a crafted network request to a B2BKing endpoint that lacks proper authorization checks. By exploiting the missing authorization enforcement, the attacker can modify access control tier settings, pricing rules, or restricted product visibility beyond what their assigned role should permit. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the attack requires prior authenticated access, reducing opportunistic exploitation risk. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 08, 2026
Missing authorization controls in the B2BKing WordPress plugin (versions prior to 5.2.10) allow authenticated high-privileged attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels, resulting in unauthorized data or configuration modification (high integrity impact). No confidentiality or availability impact is indicated by the CVSS vector. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as none with partial technical impact, suggesting limited real-world threat at this time.
RemediationAI
The vendor has released a patch; upgrade B2BKing to version 5.2.10 or later immediately. The fix was documented by Patchstack and can be confirmed via the WordPress plugin repository or the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/b2bking-wholesale-for-woocommerce/vulnerability/wordpress-b2bking-wholesale-for-woocommerce-5-2-10-broken-access-control-vulnerability. If immediate upgrading is not possible, a compensating control is to restrict high-privileged B2BKing user accounts to only trusted personnel and audit existing high-privilege role assignments within the plugin's access control tier configuration - this limits the pool of principals who could exploit the missing authorization check, though it does not eliminate the vulnerability. Monitor WordPress admin audit logs for unexpected changes to B2BKing-managed pricing tiers, customer groups, or restricted content.

Technical ContextAI · show details
B2BKing is a WooCommerce-integrated wholesale/B2B plugin for WordPress developed by Kings Plugins, identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:kings_plugins:b2bking:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a class of vulnerability where server-side code performs a sensitive operation without verifying that the requesting principal is authorized to do so. In the WordPress plugin ecosystem, this typically manifests as REST API endpoints, AJAX handlers, or admin actions that check authentication (confirming a user is logged in) but fail to verify authorization (confirming the user has the right role or capability to perform the specific action). The 'Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels' descriptor suggests B2BKing's layered B2B role/pricing tier system has at least one action where authorization enforcement is absent or bypassable.
