AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a missing authorization flaw in the Image Caption Hover Pro plugin for WordPress. It allows attackers to access and modify image captions that should be restricted to privileged users. The weakness is a classic broken access control (CWE‑862), enabling unauthorized users to read or alter protected data and potentially compromise the integrity of the website.

Affected Systems

Affected systems are installations of WebCodingPlace Image Caption Hover Pro with versions earlier than 20.0. The issue spans all releases from the earliest available version up to, but not including, 20.0, as the plugin lacks proper authentication checks in these releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 5.4 reflects a moderate impact, and the EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates a low likelihood of widespread exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would likely need web access to the WordPress site and may exploit incorrectly configured user roles; however, detailed prerequisites are not documented, so the analysis is that the flaw could be exploited remotely via the web interface.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Image Caption Hover Pro to version 20.0 or later, where access controls have been fixed.
  • If an update cannot be applied immediately, restrict the plugin’s functionality to administrator users only and configure WordPress roles so that only privileged accounts can view or edit image captions.
  • Disable the plugin if it is not essential for site functionality.
  • Monitor site activity for unauthorized caption edits and review audit logs regularly.
