V8 - Authorization Object-level authorization, IDOR prevention
|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the target WordPress installation has the CozyThemes Cozy Blocks (cozy-addons) plugin installed and active at version 2.2.23 or earlier. The flaw lies in plugin functionality that accepts a user-controlled object/key reference without a proper authorization check (CWE-639), so an attacker reaching that endpoint over the network can reference resources they do not own. Per the CVSS 4.0 vector (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L/AT:N), no authentication, no user interaction, and no special attack prerequisites are stated, and impact is limited to low confidentiality disclosure (VI:N/VA:N) - the primary limiting factors are that only sites running the vulnerable plugin version are affected and that the data exposure is bounded rather than enabling modification or takeover. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity authorization bypass (IDOR, CWE-639) in the CozyThemes Cozy Blocks WordPress plugin, scored CVSS 4.0 6.9 by the reporting source (Patchstack). The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with LOW confidentiality impact only and NO integrity or availability impact - meaning the realistic outcome is unauthorized disclosure of a limited set of data via manipulated object references, not full compromise. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were supplied in the input, so there is no signal of active or widespread exploitation at this time; the exploitation status is therefore 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' Weighing the signals together, this is a real but lower-priority issue: the unauthenticated network vector and low complexity make it easy to attempt, but the confined confidentiality-only impact and lack of any exploitation evidence argue against emergency treatment. One point to verify: the CWE-639 user-controlled-key pattern typically presupposes some object/resource context, yet the vector asserts PR:N - confirm with the vendor/Patchstack advisory whether truly no authentication is required or whether a subscriber-level account is needed, as this materially changes real-world risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker interacts with a Cozy Blocks plugin endpoint on a target WordPress site and substitutes or increments a user-controlled identifier (object key) in a request to reference records belonging to other users or scopes. Because access control is incorrectly configured, the server returns data the attacker is not authorized to view, enabling unauthorized disclosure of limited information. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data, and the CVSS vector indicates this requires no authentication, no user interaction, and low attack complexity. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 05, 2026
Authorization bypass in CozyThemes Cozy Blocks WordPress plugin versions up to 2.2.23 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access data they are not authorized to view via an insecure direct object reference (IDOR). The flaw, rated CVSS 4.0 6.9 by Patchstack, requires no authentication or user interaction and results in low confidentiality impact only. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. The primary remediation is to disable or remove the Cozy Blocks plugin until an official fix is available. As a compensating control, restrict network access to the vulnerable endpoint, or implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to detect and block attempts to manipulate object references in plugin requests. Note that disabling the plugin may remove functionality from the site. Monitor the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/cozy-addons/vulnerability/wordpress-cozy-blocks-plugin-2-2-23-insecure-direct-object-references-idor-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for updated patch information. If the plugin is essential, custom code to add authorization checks to the affected functionality could mitigate the issue, but this requires development expertise and thorough testing.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a CWE-639 authorization bypass through user-controlled key, commonly known as an insecure direct object reference (IDOR). The Cozy Blocks plugin for WordPress fails to verify that the requesting user has permission to access the object identified by a user-supplied key, allowing an attacker to manipulate that key to access resources belonging to other users or the system. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) indicates the attack is network-reachable, requires no privileges or user interaction, and has low confidentiality impact only - no integrity or availability impact. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:cozythemes:cozy_blocks:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the affected product as the Cozy Blocks plugin from CozyThemes. Our independent assessment using CVSS 3.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) is consistent with this low-impact, unauthenticated information disclosure.
