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 | Exploitable against any WordPress site with the Timetics plugin installed and activated at version 1.0.63 or earlier. The flaw stems from incorrectly configured access control security levels (missing authorization on one or more plugin actions/endpoints), so no special non-default configuration is required beyond having the vulnerable plugin active. Per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N), exploitation is unauthenticated and needs no victim interaction. Limiting factors: impact is bounded to limited integrity and availability (C:N/I:L/A:L), so an attacker cannot read confidential data or achieve full compromise through this flaw alone; exposure also depends on the specific plugin endpoint being reachable on the target. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity (CVSS 6.5) broken access control / missing authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the Arraytics Timetics WordPress plugin, reported by Patchstack. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction, which normally elevates priority. However, the impact is deliberately constrained: C:N, I:L, A:L - no confidentiality loss and only limited integrity and availability impact, consistent with an authorization gap that lets an unauthenticated actor reach functionality or modify/affect data they should not, rather than a full takeover. Critically, there is no CISA KEV listing, no EPSS score provided, no SSVC decision data, and no public POC referenced - so despite the 'easy' exploitability profile there is currently no evidence of real-world exploitation. Net assessment: a genuine but second-tier patch priority. The low-barrier unauthenticated vector means it should be patched promptly, but the limited impact and absence of exploitation signals place it below critical-severity or actively-exploited issues. Note the data gap: EPSS, KEV, and POC status are all absent from the input, so exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified beyond the CVSS exploitability metrics. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request directly to a Timetics plugin endpoint (e.g., a REST/AJAX action) that fails to enforce a capability or authorization check. Because no authentication, privileges, or user interaction are required (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), the attacker reaches restricted functionality to read-protected actions or modify booking/configuration data, causing limited integrity and availability impact. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 05, 2026
Missing authorization in the Arraytics Timetics WordPress plugin (versions through 1.0.63) lets remote attackers trigger plugin actions that lack proper access-control checks, allowing limited integrity and availability impact on affected sites (CVSS 6.5, CWE-862). The assessed vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L confirms exploitation is unauthenticated and requires no victim interaction, though the impact is bounded - no confidentiality loss - and any WordPress installation running the vulnerable plugin with the affected endpoint reachable is exposed. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis; the issue was reported by Patchstack, and the affected range ends at 1.0.63.
RemediationAI
The affected range terminates at 1.0.63, so the primary fix is to update Timetics to the first release after 1.0.63 as published in the WordPress plugin repository, and to verify the installed version on every site that bundles it; confirmation of the exact fixed build and any additional hardening guidance should be taken from the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/timetics/vulnerability/wordpress-timetics-plugin-1-0-63-broken-access-control-vulnerability. Where updating cannot be done immediately, the most reliable compensating control is to deactivate and remove the plugin entirely - the trade-off being loss of the scheduling/booking functionality it provides. A less disruptive option is to front the site with a WAF or reverse-proxy rule that blocks unauthenticated requests to the specific Timetics AJAX actions and REST namespaces, but this requires first fingerprinting the exact routes from the plugin source and risks breaking legitimate front-end features for visitors. IP allowlisting or rate-limiting requests to admin-ajax.php and the plugin's REST endpoints narrows the window but is fragile behind CDNs and shared egress addresses. Note that because the vector shows no confidentiality impact, there is no sensitive data to rotate as a direct result of this CVE alone; if exploitation is suspected, audit plugin-managed records and site availability for unexpected changes. As of analysis no public exploit code and no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation were identified, so remediation can follow normal patch cycles, but the unauthenticated reachability makes a short timeline advisable.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a classic broken access control / missing authorization issue (CWE-862) in a WordPress plugin. In this class, plugin actions - typically registered via admin-ajax.php handlers, REST API routes, or admin-post hooks - fail to enforce capability checks (current_user_can()) or validate security nonces, or configure them incorrectly so that a lower-privileged or entirely anonymous request passes where an authorized one should be required. The Patchstack tagline 'Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels' and the CPE string cpe:2.3:a:arraytics:timetics:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (wildcard version, i.e. all releases up to the fixed one) confirm the entire Timetics plugin line through 1.0.63 is affected, independent of the WordPress core version or the site's user configuration. Because PR:N and UI:N appear in the vector, the vulnerable route is reachable without authentication and without luring a logged-in user into clicking anything, which is what raises an otherwise low-impact bug to a 6.5 score under WordPress-ecosystem norms. The bounded C:N/I:L/A:L profile means the exposed action alters state or consumes resources rather than disclosing data or enabling full site takeover on its own; chaining with other plugin or core flaws could elevate it.
