AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a missing authorization flaw in MSTW CSV EXPORTER that allows an attacker to trigger exports without proper permission checks. This could expose sensitive data from the WordPress site or be used for further privilege escalation. It originates from incorrectly configured access control security levels and represents a classic permission grant weakness (CWE‑862).

Affected Systems

Mark O'Donnell’s MSTW CSV EXPORTER plugin for WordPress, versions up to and including 1.4. All earlier releases are also affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 places the issue in the medium severity range. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates very low current exploit probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitability would likely require an authenticated user or user with unrestricted access to the export endpoint; an attacker with such access can trigger the flaw to retrieve data. No known public exploits have been reported.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the MSTW CSV EXPORTER plugin to a version newer than 1.4 that contains proper authorization checks.
  • Configure WordPress roles so that only users with the intended capability can use the export feature, and review the plugin’s settings to confirm enforcement of these permissions.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable the export functionality or restrict access to the plugin’s export endpoint through web server rules or a security plugin that blocks unauthenticated or unauthorized requests.
