AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a missing authorization flaw in the WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher plugin (etruel). It allows an attacker to bypass normal access restrictions and perform actions that should be limited to privileged users. This weakness is classified as CWE-862, meaning the plugin accepts requests from users who lack the necessary permissions.

Affected Systems

Affected software is the etruel WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher plugin for WordPress, versions from the earliest release up through 2.8.3. No other products or versions are listed, so any WordPress site using a vulnerable plugin installation is potentially impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% shows low current exploitation likelihood. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be web‑based, requiring the ability to send crafted requests to the plugin’s endpoints; no additional authentication appears to be needed, so the risk to any publicly accessible site is mainly limited to unauthorized modification or access to the RSS feed management interface.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher plugin to the latest available version, which removes the missing authorization flaw.
  • If an update cannot be performed immediately, restrict the plugin’s administrative interfaces so that only users with the Administrator role can access it, using WordPress role management or a custom roles plugin.
  • Disable or remove the plugin from sites where it is not needed, to eliminate the attack surface.
  • Verify that plugin configuration does not expose feed URLs or administrative functions to public users.
