Analysis

Technical impact

The vulnerability is a missing authorization flaw affecting the Audio Editor & Recorder plugin for WordPress, rated as CWE‑862. It permits a user to bypass the plugin’s configured access control, allowing them to perform actions or view data that should be limited to users with higher privileges.

Affected Systems

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests the likelihood of exploitation is low as of now, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
