Impact
The JetBlog plugin for WordPress contains a missing authorization flaw that allows attackers to invoke plugin functionality that is not protected by access control lists. The vulnerability is classified as CWE‑862 Missing Authorization and permits the use of endpoints that should be restricted to authorized users.
Affected Systems
This issue affects the Crocoblock JetBlog plugin from its earliest released build through version 2.4.3. Any WordPress installation running a vulnerable version of the plugin is impacted. No specific WordPress core versions are mentioned, and the impact is confined to the plugin's administrative and public call points.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of observed exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a remote web request; an attacker who can reach the WordPress site may craft requests targeting the unsecured plugin endpoints, bypassing authentication checks. Access to the unprotected functionality is gained by an attacker who can send such crafted requests.
