Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

Based on the description, the vulnerability resides in the Classified Listing WordPress plugin prior to version 5.4.4. The plugin does not perform a capability check on an AJAX action that returns aggregated store revenue totals, enabling users with contributor-level access and above to read daily revenue figures normally restricted to administrators and report managers. This information‑disclosure weakness, mapped to CWE-862, compromises the confidentiality of sensitive financial data for sites that use the plugin.

Affected Systems

Based on the description, the vulnerability affects any installation of the Classified Listing plugin for WordPress running a version older than 5.4.4. No specific vendor namespace is provided, so the impact applies universally to sites using this unpatched plugin version.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 2.7, indicating low severity, and an EPSS score of < 1%. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no publicly known exploitation yet. Because the flaw is tied to an authenticated AJAX endpoint and requires only contributor privileges—roles commonly granted to content authors—the risk of exploitation is moderate. Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker who has or can obtain contributor access could trigger the endpoint and retrieve revenue data without advanced privileges.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Classified Listing plugin to version 5.4.4 or later to address the missing capability check.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable or restrict the rtcl_revenue_order_search AJAX action for non‑administrator roles, for example by adding a custom snippet that blocks the action unless the user has the manage_options capability.
  • Review and limit contributor privileges on the site; consider removing contributor access until the plugin is updated or the endpoint is secured.
