Impact

The vulnerability is a Time‑of‑Check Time‑of‑Use race condition in the Saad Iqbal myCred WordPress plugin, classified as CWE‑367. It can allow an attacker to create or modify content or data inconsistently, potentially leading to unauthorized actions. The flaw carries a CVSS score of 5.3, indicating a moderate impact.

Affected Systems

All installations of the myCred WordPress plugin from the earliest releases up through version 2.9.4.3 are potentially affected. Users running any version equal to or older than 2.9.4.3 are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is <1 %, indicating a low likelihood of exploitation at present, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog.

  • Implement additional input validation and enforce strict file permissions on the WordPress installation to reduce the chance of race condition exploitation until a patch is applied.
