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 special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of the 10Web Booster WordPress plugin before 2.34.0. The vulnerable behavior is the plugin's own routine that issues and manages the cloud-connection shared secret, which lacks any access restriction, so any anonymous visitor can reach it. The only meaningful limiting factor is impact scope: exploitation yields disclosure of the cloud shared secret and repeatable deletion that denies legitimate admin cloud connection, not code execution or broader site compromise; the site must have the plugin installed and be attempting (or intending) to use the 10Web cloud connection for the availability impact to matter. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority issue best characterized as high-CVSS-relative-to-real-impact-ceiling rather than a critical emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L, 6.5 MEDIUM) shows the flaw is remotely reachable, trivial to trigger, and requires no authentication or user interaction - the worst-case ingredients for exploitation ease - but the technical impact is deliberately bounded to C:L (disclosure of one shared secret) and A:L (repeated deletion denies the cloud-connection feature). There is no code execution, no data write, and no full-site compromise. SSVC corroborates this: exploitation=none (no observed in-the-wild activity), automatable=yes (unauthenticated network access with low complexity is scriptable), technical impact=partial (matches the C:L/A:L scoping). A public exploit exists (WPScan) and a vendor patch is available, but there is no EPSS score and no CISA KEV listing provided, so there is no evidence of active exploitation. The signals are internally consistent: easy-to-exploit and automatable, yet limited-impact and not-yet-exploited. Priority driver is the low exploitation barrier plus public POC on a widely-used WordPress plugin; the dampener is the capped impact (secret leak + connection-setup denial-of-service, not RCE). |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends a request to the unprotected 10Web Booster endpoint that issues the plugin's cloud-connection shared secret, reading the secret and then repeatedly invoking the deletion routine. This both leaks the authenticating secret and prevents any administrator from completing a legitimate 10Web cloud connection, creating a persistent denial of the plugin's cloud functionality. A public exploit is available via WPScan, and the network/low-complexity/no-auth vector makes the attack easily automatable across many sites. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 24, 2026
Missing authorization in the 10Web Booster WordPress plugin before 2.34.0 exposes an unauthenticated routine that issues the plugin's cloud-connection shared secret, allowing any anonymous visitor to read that secret and then repeatedly delete it. The practical impact is limited to confidentiality of the cloud credential and availability of the legitimate administrator's cloud connection: an attacker cannot achieve code execution or broader site compromise, but they can disclose the secret and block an administrator from completing a valid 10Web connection. Exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction per the assessed vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), publicly available exploit code exists, and no confirmed active exploitation has been reported (CISA SSVC Exploitation: none); this is a moderate-priority issue whose real-world ceiling sits well below its 6.5 base score.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade 10Web Booster to version 2.34.0 or later, which adds the missing authorization check to the shared-secret routine; the fix is confirmed available from the vendor and referenced through WPScan (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/c6e4763e-e4db-4318-9631-06ee7426f3ae/) and the NVD/EUVD record (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-82195). Until the plugin can be updated, the most effective compensating control is to deactivate the 10Web Booster plugin if the site does not depend on the 10Web cloud connection, accepting the loss of its optimization features; where the plugin must stay active, restrict access to the plugin's AJAX/REST management endpoints at the edge (WAF or web server rules blocking unauthenticated requests to 10Web Booster admin-ajax actions and REST routes), understanding that this is bypassable if rules are incomplete or the endpoint path changes. Rotating or invalidating the exposed cloud-connection secret through the 10Web dashboard is advisable if disclosure is suspected, and administrators should treat the credential as compromised; none of these workarounds restore the underlying broken access control, so the version upgrade remains the only complete fix. No evidence of active exploitation was found (SSVC Exploitation: none), so emergency out-of-band response is not required, though the availability of public exploit code and the 'automatable: yes' rating make prompt patching worthwhile.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a classic CWE-862 Missing Authorization defect in a WordPress plugin component. 10Web Booster maintains a cloud connection to 10Web's hosted services and authenticates that link with a shared secret. The plugin exposes the internal routine responsible for issuing and managing that secret without any capability or nonce check, so the endpoint is reachable by unauthenticated visitors (PR:N) over the network (AV:N) with no user interaction (UI:N) and no special conditions. Because the same routine also permits deletion, the missing control produces both a confidentiality loss (secret disclosure, C:L) and an availability loss (repeated invalidation of the site's cloud credential, A:L), matching the assessed CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L vector and the SSVC 'partial' technical impact rating. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:unknown:10web_booster:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with EUVD listing affected versions as 10Web Booster 0 through <2.34.0. WordPress plugins of this type commonly expose their administrative routines through admin-ajax.php or REST routes; the underlying issue is that an ostensibly privileged management action was registered without an authorization gate rather than a memory-safety or injection weakness.

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
The 10Web Booster WordPress plugin before 2.34.0 does not restrict access to the routine which issues the shared secret that authenticates its cloud connection, disclosing that secret to unauthenticated visitors and letting them delete it repeatedly, preventing an administrator from completing a legitimate connection.
