Description
The Classified Listing WordPress plugin before 6.1.1 does not verify that the requester owns or can edit the target listing when a gallery request references an unattached media item, allowing any authenticated user with a subscriber-level account to modify, corrupt or delete media-library attachments owned by other users, including administrators.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Classified Listing WordPress plugin, in any version prior to 6.1.1, lacks a check that the requester is the owner or has permission to edit a listing. When an authenticated user requests a gallery AJAX handler that references an unattached media item, the plugin permits the user to modify, corrupt, or delete media‑library attachments owned by other users, including administrators. This flaw results in loss of integrity for the media library and allows a subscriber‑level user to manipulate site media without appropriate authorization, representing a broken access‑control vulnerability.

Affected Systems

The flaw targets installations of the Classified Listing WordPress plugin with versions earlier than 6.1.1. Any WordPress site that has installed this plugin prior to the fixed release is potentially affected.

Risk and Exploitability

Exploitation requires only an authenticated session with a subscriber role and access to the gallery AJAX endpoint. The CVSS score of 5.9 reflects moderate severity, and an EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because subscriber accounts are commonly present on WordPress sites, the overall risk is moderate until the plugin is updated or mitigated.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Classified Listing plugin to version 6.1.1 or later, which includes the missing access‑control check for gallery AJAX handlers.
  • If an upgrade cannot be carried out immediately, disable or block the gallery AJAX endpoints specifically – for example by turning off the plugin feature that exposes those handlers or configuring a web‑application firewall to reject requests that reference unattached media items.
  • Restrict subscriber role permissions to the minimum required for site use and monitor the media library for unexpected the permissions or plugin configuration change.
