Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires that the target WordPress site has the Car Rental Manager plugin installed and active in version 1.3.7 or earlier. The CVSS vector PR:N/UI:N/AC:L confirms that no authentication, elevated privileges, or victim interaction are required - the vulnerable endpoint is accessible to any HTTP client that can reach the WordPress installation. The specific plugin feature, AJAX action, or REST route that lacks authorization checks is not disclosed in publicly available data, which adds a minor discovery barrier. Exploitation is limited to integrity impact (I:L); there is no confirmed path to data disclosure (C:N) or denial of service (A:N) from this flaw alone. Standard WordPress hardening (blocking xmlrpc.php, restricting wp-admin) would reduce but not eliminate exposure.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 Medium is supported by the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, indicating trivial remote exploitability with no authentication barrier, but limited to a partial integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability consequences. No EPSS score was provided in the input data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public proof-of-concept code has been identified, which meaningfully reduces the near-term threat. The product's niche deployment base (car rental businesses using a specific WordPress plugin) further constrains the realistic attack surface. The primary concern is unauthorized modification of rental data, bookings, or plugin configuration by unauthenticated actors - a genuine operational risk for affected site owners, but not a systemic or mass-exploitation scenario.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker discovers a WordPress site running Car Rental Manager ≤1.3.7, then sends a crafted HTTP POST request directly to the plugin's unprotected AJAX handler or REST endpoint, bypassing the missing authorization check. The attacker successfully modifies rental booking records, plugin settings, or vehicle availability data without holding any WordPress account. No exploit code has been publicly released, so exploitation currently requires manual discovery of the specific vulnerable endpoint.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 13, 2026

Missing authorization controls in the Car Rental Manager WordPress plugin (≤1.3.7) allow unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control levels, resulting in limited integrity impact. The CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) confirms exploitation requires no credentials or user interaction against any publicly reachable WordPress site running the affected plugin. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, keeping real-world risk at a moderate level despite the trivial exploitation conditions.

RemediationAI

Update the Car Rental Manager plugin beyond version 1.3.7 as soon as a patched release is available from the plugin author (magepeopleteam). No specific patched version number is confirmed in available data - consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/car-rental-manager/vulnerability/wordpress-car-rental-manager-plugin-1-3-7-broken-access-control-vulnerability and the WordPress Plugin Repository for the latest release status. As an interim compensating control, consider disabling the plugin until a fix is confirmed, accepting the trade-off of losing rental management functionality. Alternatively, web application firewall (WAF) rules that restrict unauthenticated POST requests to the plugin's known AJAX or admin endpoints can reduce exposure, though the specific vulnerable endpoints are not publicly disclosed at this time. Restricting wp-admin and wp-login.php access by IP range is a general hardening measure that limits the attack surface for WordPress plugin flaws of this class.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) describes a failure to verify that the requesting principal holds the necessary permissions before executing a privileged operation. In WordPress plugins, this typically manifests as the absence of current_user_can() capability checks - or the use of misconfigured nonce/role checks - on AJAX handlers, REST API routes, or admin-page actions. The affected product, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:magepeopleteam:car_rental_manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, is a plugin by magepeopleteam that manages vehicle rental workflows inside WordPress. The Patchstack tag 'Broken Access Control' corroborates that one or more plugin endpoints accept and act on requests without enforcing WordPress capability gates, allowing callers at lower privilege levels (or no privilege at all, per PR:N) to trigger functionality intended for authorized roles.
