The weakness is classified as CWE‑862, which indicates a missing or insufficient authorization enforcement.
Affected Systems
The affected product is the WordPress EMI Calculator plugin, version 1.1 and all earlier releases. Any installation running a version through 1.1 is susceptible to this issue.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1 percent suggests a low probability of exploitation at present, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is via the plugin’s settings page over the web interface, requiring authenticated access that is incorrectly authorized. Attackers who can authenticate to the WordPress administration area can exploit this flaw to change configuration values without appropriate permission checks.
