AI Analysis

Impact

The WordPress Single Sign-On (SSO) plugin contains a misconfigured capability check on a function, allowing unauthenticated callers to read data that should be restricted to certain roles. The flaw enables attackers to harvest sensitive site content, including pages, posts, or other protected resources, leading to a breach of confidentiality. This weakness maps to the Authorization error category described by CWE‑863.

Affected Systems

The affected component is the WordPress Single Sign-On (SSO) plugin by cyberlord92, in all editions (All‑Inclusive, Enterprise, Premium, Standard) for both single‑site and multisite configurations. Versions up through and including 5.3 are impacted; any deployment on these releases is vulnerable unless already upgraded beyond that series.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate threat, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of active exploitation. The flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a simple HTTP request against the plugin’s exposed function, which does not perform proper capability checks, and does not require authentication. An attacker can send crafted URLs or form submissions to retrieve the hidden content, provided the site’s public web interface is reachable.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the WordPress Single Sign-On (SSO) plugin to the latest release that fixes the capability check error.
  • If the newest release cannot be immediately applied, limit public access to the compromised endpoints by disabling unused plugin features or applying access restrictions.
  • Check site logs and content for signs that protected data may have been accessed or exfiltrated, and take remedial actions if evidence is found.
