Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The RepairBuddy plugin must be installed and active on a WordPress site. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N reflects straightforward remote exploitability tempered by a limited integrity-only impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated attacker discovers a WordPress site running RepairBuddy by fingerprinting the plugin via standard enumeration techniques, then sends a crafted HTTP POST request to the affected plugin endpoint (likely a WordPress AJAX action or REST route) without any session token or capability check, successfully invoking a restricted function to modify or create repair job records. No public proof-of-concept has been identified, but the low attack complexity suggests exploitation is straightforward for any attacker familiar with WordPress plugin vulnerability patterns. |
| Remediation | No exact patched version is confirmed in the available source data - the Patchstack advisory should be consulted directly at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/computer-repair-shop/vulnerability/wordpress-repairbuddy-plugin-4-1223-broken-access-control-vulnerability for release details. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
