Broken object-level authorization in the Project Manager WordPress plugin before 4.0.7 allows any authenticated user - including low-privilege subscribers - to read arbitrary users' activity histories, email addresses, and details of projects they have no legitimate access to via an unguarded REST API route. Affected versions span 2.2.0 through 4.0.6, with a patch released at 4.0.7. A publicly available proof-of-concept is documented by WPScan, though no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been recorded and EPSS probability remains low at 0.16%.
Improper access control in the Project Manager WordPress plugin before 4.0.7 exposes several REST API routes without project-membership enforcement, allowing any low-privilege authenticated user - including subscribers - to read task content and user email addresses across projects they do not belong to, and to modify task boards of arbitrary projects. The flaw is a classic CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) exploitable with no special configuration, network-accessible, and requiring only a valid WordPress account. A publicly available exploit exists via WPScan, though EPSS at 0.16% (5th percentile) indicates limited observed exploitation; no public exploit identified at time of analysis confirms CISA KEV status, so active widespread exploitation cannot be confirmed.
Unauthenticated account creation in the Project Manager WordPress plugin before version 4.0.7 allows any remote attacker to register WordPress user accounts regardless of the site's registration settings. The import routes in the plugin carry no authorization checks whatsoever (CWE-862), enabling an attacker who already knows the password they will submit to establish a persistent, valid WordPress account on the target site. A publicly available proof-of-concept exploit exists; however, EPSS is currently 0.18% (7th percentile), indicating low observed exploitation volume at the time of analysis.
