AI Analysis

Impact

Classified Pro, a WordPress theme, is vulnerable due to a missing capability check in the "cwp_addons_update_plugin_cb" function. Authenticated users with subscriber level access and higher can exploit this flaw to install arbitrary plugins on the site’s server. Installing such plugins can provide the attacker with remote code execution capabilities, enabling full compromise of the website.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Cridio Studio’s ClassifiedPro reCommerce WordPress Theme in all releases up to and including version 1.0.14. Any site that has installed one of those versions is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high severity impact, while the EPSS score of < 1 % suggests that widespread exploitation is currently unlikely. This vulnerability is not yet listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Attacking this flaw requires an authenticated session with at least subscriber permissions and knowledge of the nonce supplied by the CubeWP Framework plugin. Once the attacker gains plugin‑upload access, arbitrary code can be deployed on the server.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Classified Pro to the latest available version (1.0.15 or newer) to remove the missing capability check.
  • Remove or disable the CubeWP Framework plugin if it is not required, or restrict its use to trusted administrators.
  • Revoke or downgrade the capability that allows users to install plugins for subscriber roles and lower.
  • Apply stricter file‑system permissions so that only the web server user can write to plugin directories.
  • Audit the site’s plugin directory for recently added plugins and review their source.
