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 | No authentication is required - the CVSS vector PR:N/AV:N confirms unauthenticated network exploitation. The target WordPress site must have the Graphina Elementor Charts and Graphs plugin installed and activated at version 3.1.12 or earlier. Standard WordPress network accessibility (port 80/443) is the only prerequisite. Exploitation is limited to confidentiality impact (C:L); the attacker cannot modify data (I:N) or affect availability (A:N). Sites using Graphina exclusively to display non-sensitive, publicly intended data face negligible practical impact despite the access control bypass being present. No specific non-default configuration is required - the vulnerable endpoint is expected to be present in any standard installation of the affected version. |
| Impact | The provided CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 (Medium) is appropriate given the AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N vector: exploitability is high (unauthenticated, low complexity, remote), but impact is deliberately constrained to limited confidentiality with no integrity or availability consequence. This pattern is typical of information-disclosure flavors of broken access control, where an attacker can read data they should not see but cannot modify or destroy anything. No EPSS score was provided in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog and no public proof-of-concept code has been identified, reducing urgency relative to a KEV-listed or PoC-accompanied finding. Real-world risk is primarily relevant to WordPress deployments that use Graphina to display sensitive or proprietary data in charts, where unauthorized read access could expose business intelligence or PII. For sites using Graphina purely with public data, the practical impact may be negligible. SSVC exploitation status is classified as 'none' given absence of public exploit or active exploitation reports, though the low exploitation complexity means that could change rapidly if a PoC emerges. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running Graphina <= 3.1.12 and sends a crafted HTTP POST or GET request to the publicly accessible WordPress AJAX handler (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) or a REST API route registered by the plugin. Because no authorization check is performed, the server returns data or performs an action that should require authentication, exposing restricted chart data or plugin configuration. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N vector means exploitation requires only knowledge of the endpoint name. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026
Broken Access Control in the Graphina Elementor Charts and Graphs WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 3.1.12) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access restricted functionality or data without proper authorization. The flaw stems from missing authorization checks (CWE-862), meaning certain plugin endpoints or AJAX actions fail to verify whether the requesting user holds the necessary permissions before serving a response. Impact is limited to partial confidentiality loss with no integrity or availability consequence. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Update the Graphina plugin to a version beyond 3.1.12 via the WordPress plugin dashboard or manually from the WordPress plugin repository. Patch availability per vendor advisory is confirmed by Patchstack (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/graphina-elementor-charts-and-graphs/vulnerability/wordpress-graphina-plugin-3-1-12-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve), though an exact fixed version number was not independently confirmed in the available input data - verify the current stable release in the WordPress plugin repository before deploying. If immediate patching is not possible, a compensating control is to audit and restrict access to the specific AJAX action or REST route involved using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule; however, identifying the precise endpoint requires code-level review of the affected plugin versions. Deactivating the plugin until patched eliminates the attack surface entirely at the cost of losing chart and graph functionality for site visitors.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Graphina is a WordPress plugin by Iqonic Design that integrates with Elementor to render charts and graphs, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:iqonic_design:graphina:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) describes a root cause where code reaches a sensitive operation - typically a REST API route or WordPress AJAX action - without first invoking an authorization check (e.g., current_user_can() or a capability check). In the WordPress plugin ecosystem this commonly manifests as registered AJAX handlers accessible via wp-admin/admin-ajax.php or REST endpoints that are publicly registered but lack nonce validation or role gating, permitting any network-reachable party to call them. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms the flaw is fully reachable over the network with no authentication and no user interaction required, consistent with a publicly exposed WordPress endpoint.
