Exploitation Conditions

Requires a valid authenticated account at subscriber level or higher on a WordPress site running the Delete All Comments of wordpress plugin version 7.1 or earlier; the plugin's bulk comment-deletion function omits the capability/authorization check (CWE-862). Exploitation is limited by the need for an account - realistic only where self-registration is enabled or credentials are otherwise obtainable. No user interaction, no admin privileges, and no non-default configuration are needed beyond the plugin being installed and active. Impact is confined to deletion of comment data (availability); confidentiality and site integrity are not affected.

Impact

This is a moderate, not critical, priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 6.5) indicates a network-reachable flaw that is easy to execute but requires low-level authentication (PR:L - a subscriber account), with no confidentiality or integrity loss and only availability impact (destruction of comment data). The CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) classification aligns with the 'Subscriber Broken Access Control' description: a low-privileged user can invoke a privileged delete function. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' and there is no evidence of active or automated exploitation. The signals are internally consistent - the main caveat is that the 'Authentication Bypass' tag overstates the issue; this is an authorization (access control) failure requiring a valid subscriber session, not an unauthenticated bypass, consistent with PR:L. Net: a genuine data-destruction bug worth patching on affected sites that allow user registration, but low urgency given the authentication requirement, niche plugin footprint, and absence of exploitation signals.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers or obtains a low-privilege subscriber account on a WordPress site running the Delete All Comments of wordpress plugin (<= 7.1), then sends a crafted authenticated request to the plugin's bulk comment-deletion function, which lacks a capability check. All comments across the site are deleted, causing loss of community content and discussion history. No public exploit code was identified at the time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026

Broken access control in the Delete All Comments WordPress plugin through version 7.1 allows any authenticated subscriber-level account to invoke bulk comment-deletion functionality without the required capability check, causing high availability impact to comment data on affected sites. The assessed CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H confirms remote, low-privilege exploitation with no user interaction, while confidentiality and integrity are unaffected; this is a moderate, not critical, priority. No CISA KEV confirmation and no public exploit identified at time of analysis are present in the supplied intelligence, and exploitation is realistic mainly where self-registration or obtainable subscriber credentials exist.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and no exact fixed version is provided in the supplied data; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/delete-all-comments-of-website/vulnerability/wordpress-delete-all-comments-of-wordpress-plugin-7-1-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for updated fixed-version guidance. The most effective immediate action is to deactivate and remove the Delete All Comments of WordPress plugin if its bulk comment-deletion feature is not essential, which eliminates the vulnerable endpoint but removes bulk comment management. If the plugin must remain active, disable public self-registration in WordPress settings or restrict subscriber account creation so untrusted users cannot obtain the required PR:L account; this can block legitimate signups. Additionally, use a WAF or reverse proxy rule to block or require higher-privilege authorization for requests to the plugin's bulk delete action in admin-ajax.php or REST routes, deriving exact route names from plugin source; this may break intended plugin functionality for authorized users. Audit and remove unnecessary subscriber accounts and monitor for unexpected mass comment deletion as a compensating detection control.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The issue affects the WordPress plugin Delete All Comments of WordPress, identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:royalnavneet:delete_all_comments_of_wordpress:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and reported by Patchstack under EUVD-2026-93085. It is a CWE-862 Missing Authorization flaw: the plugin's bulk comment-deletion action fails to enforce WordPress's capability checks, so a subscriber-level authenticated user can perform an action normally reserved for higher-privileged roles. The source tags label this as Authentication Bypass, but the authoritative assessment frames it as broken access control after authentication, with the CVSS vector PR:L indicating low privileges are required and no admin rights, user interaction, or non-default configuration beyond an active vulnerable plugin are needed. Impact is confined to deletion of comment data (availability); confidentiality and site integrity are not affected.
