Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in Stylish Cost Calculator <= 8.3.9 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthorized data exposure in the Stylish Cost Calculator WordPress plugin (versions 8.3.9 and earlier) lets remote unauthenticated attackers reach functionality that should be access-controlled, exposing sensitive information. Reported through Patchstack and classified as a broken access control / missing authorization flaw (CWE-862), it carries a CVSS 7.5 with confidentiality-only impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is Stylish Cost Calculator, a commercial WordPress plugin that builds interactive pricing/quote calculators and forms for websites. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): one or more of the plugin's endpoints - typically exposed via WordPress AJAX actions (admin-ajax.php) or REST routes - fail to verify the caller's capability/permission before returning data or performing an operation. Because WordPress plugins commonly register both privileged and 'nopriv' AJAX handlers, a handler intended for authenticated/administrative use that is also wired to an unauthenticated path (or simply omits a current_user_can()/nonce check) allows any visitor to invoke it. The CVSS confidentiality-only profile (C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates the practical effect is reading data that should be protected rather than modifying state.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the Stylish Cost Calculator plugin to a release newer than 8.3.9; the input identifies 8.3.9 and earlier as vulnerable but does not specify the exact fixed version, so confirm the patched build via the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/stylish-cost-calculator/vulnerability/wordpress-stylish-cost-calculator-plugin-8-3-9-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the WordPress plugin changelog before deploying. If an immediate update is not possible, compensating controls include placing the affected AJAX/REST endpoints behind a WAF rule (Patchstack or equivalent virtual patching often ships a rule for this CVE), and restricting or rate-limiting unauthenticated requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php actions associated with the plugin - note this can break legitimate front-end calculator functionality for anonymous visitors. As a last resort, deactivate the plugin until patched, which removes the exposure entirely but disables the pricing-calculator feature. Patch status: released patched version not independently confirmed from the provided data.
