AI Analysis

Impact

The wpForo Forum plugin has an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) flaw that permits an attacker to bypass access controls by manipulating user-supplied identifiers. An attacker can read or modify forum data that should be restricted, jeopardizing confidentiality and integrity. This weakness is identified as CWE‑639.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability impacts the Tomdever wpForo Forum WordPress plugin for all releases from its earliest version through version 2.4.6. Any WordPress site deploying this plugin within that version range is potentially vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 reflects low to moderate severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low exploitation likelihood at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation would likely require an attacker to modify object identifiers in forum requests, a task that can be performed with or without prior authentication depending on the site’s configuration. Consequently, the overall risk is low, but the attack vector is straightforward once the flaw is known.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade wpForo Forum to the latest validated release that removes the IDOR flaw (consult the vendor for the precise version).
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, block external access to the plugin’s sensitive endpoints (e.g., through .htaccess or WordPress security plugins) to prevent unauthorized identifier manipulation.
  • Enforce strict role‑based access controls within the forum settings so that only authorized users can retrieve or modify protected resources.
  • Continuously monitor web traffic and logs for unexpected or malformed requests that include altered identifiers.
