Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with low-privileged (standard registered member) access on a NamelessMC 2.2.4 instance - the CVSS vector PR:L confirms authentication is mandatory. The target must be a profile wall post belonging to either a user who has blocked the attacker or a profile configured with private visibility. No special configuration beyond default NamelessMC deployment is required for the vulnerable code path to be reachable. What limits exploitation: the attacker must be a registered, authenticated user; the privacy bypass only affects reactions specifically (not reads of post content); and the impact is constrained to low confidentiality and integrity effects on the vulnerable system with no lateral scope impact (SC:N/SI:N).

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3 reflects a moderate severity with network attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), low privilege requirement (PR:L), and no user interaction (UI:N), resulting in limited confidentiality and integrity impact (VC:L/VI:L) with no availability impact. Real-world risk is relatively low: the attacker must already be an authenticated user on the platform, limiting the exposed population to registered members. The impact is a privacy control bypass - attackers can signal their presence (via reactions) to users who explicitly blocked them or set profiles to private, which is a social/privacy harm rather than a data breach or system compromise. No KEV listing and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis, reinforcing that this is not an opportunistic mass-exploitation target. EPSS data was not provided; given the niche deployment context (Minecraft community sites) and the authentication prerequisite, real-world exploitation probability is assessed as low. The primary concern is for platforms where user blocking and privacy carry meaningful safety or trust implications.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated registered user on a NamelessMC 2.2.4 site - for example, an account that has been blocked by another user - crafts a direct reaction request targeting a wall post on the blocking user's private or restricted profile. Because ProfilePostReactionContext.php only confirms the post exists without validating profile visibility or block status, the reaction is recorded successfully, allowing the blocked user to interact with content they should be excluded from and revealing their activity to the profile owner.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 02, 2026

Missing authorization in NamelessMC 2.2.4 allows authenticated low-privileged users to add reactions to wall posts on private profiles or profiles that have blocked them, bypassing expected privacy and blocking controls. The flaw exists in core/classes/Misc/ProfilePostReactionContext.php, which validates only that the target post exists but performs no check against the profile's visibility settings or block relationships. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vendor has released a patch in version 2.2.5.

RemediationAI

Upgrade NamelessMC to version 2.2.5, which contains the vendor-released patch addressing this missing authorization check. The fix is documented in the GitHub Security Advisory at https://github.com/NamelessMC/Nameless/security/advisories/GHSA-47hr-jj6c-rqf9. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, a compensating control would be to disable profile reactions site-wide through NamelessMC's administrative settings, which eliminates the vulnerable code path entirely but removes reaction functionality for all users. Alternatively, administrators can restrict registration or enforce moderation of new accounts to limit the pool of authenticated low-privileged users who could abuse the bypass, though this does not address the root cause and carries usability trade-offs.

Technical ContextAI · show details

NamelessMC is open-source PHP-based website software designed for Minecraft server communities, providing profile walls, reactions, and social features. The affected component, core/classes/Misc/ProfilePostReactionContext.php, handles the authorization context for profile post reactions. Per CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), the code path resolves whether the target post exists but omits the secondary authorization gate that would enforce profile privacy settings (private profiles) and user-to-user block relationships. This represents an incomplete access control implementation - authentication is enforced (PR:L), but post-authentication visibility rules are not re-evaluated at the reaction endpoint. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:namelessmc:nameless:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all tracked NamelessMC versions prior to the fix are in scope.

DescriptionCVE.org

NamelessMC is website software for Minecraft servers. In version 2.2.4, core/classes/Misc/ProfilePostReactionContext.php only verifies that the wall post exists and does not enforce blocked/private-profile visibility. This means that authenticated low-privileged users can add reactions to private or blocking profile posts. Version 2.2.5 contains a patch.
