AI Analysis

Impact

The Nuanced Media WP Meetup plugin for WordPress contains a Missing Authorization flaw (CWE‑862) that allows an attacker to alter its settings without proper privileges. By modifying event listings, visibility controls, or security features, an unauthorized user can disrupt site operations or facilitate further exploitation. Although the vulnerability does not directly enable remote code execution, the ability to reconfigure the plugin undermines the integrity and availability of the WordPress site.

Affected Systems

This issue affects Nuanced Media WP Meetup plugin versions up to and including 2.3.0, which are installed on WordPress sites. Users of these or earlier releases are vulnerable to unauthorized changes of the plugin’s configuration.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 reflects moderate severity, and the EPSS score is reported as less than 1 %, indicating a low probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The most plausible attack vector involves submitting requests to the plugin’s settings interface via the web front‑end or admin pages; if an attacker can reach these endpoints, they can change configuration without authentication. No public exploits are documented, but the low EPSS suggests limited current prevalence.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the WP Meetup plugin to version 2.3.1 or newer, which implements proper authorization checks for settings changes.
  • Ensure that WordPress user roles are correctly configured so that only administrators have permission to modify plugin settings—revoke the role’s ability to access the settings page if it is currently granted.
  • After upgrading, review the plugin’s configuration to confirm that no unintended options remain enabled and that the site’s functional and security requirements are still satisfied.
