Impact

A missing authorization check in the Designinvento DirectoryPress plugin allows attackers to access resources that should be protected, potentially viewing, editing, or deleting directory entries. This flaw is identified as CWE‑862 (Broken Access Control).

Affected Systems

Versions of the Designinvento DirectoryPress plugin up to and including 3.6.26 are vulnerable. The affected plugin release range is stated as n/a through 3.6.26 in the official description.

Risk and Exploitability

The recorded CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.4 indicates a moderate severity vulnerability, but the CVE data does not specify attack complexity or privileges required. EPSS indicates a very low likelihood (<1%) of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the DirectoryPress plugin to a version newer than 3.6.26, which removes the broken access control flaw.

  • Enable comprehensive logging for all DirectoryPress administrative actions and regularly audit logs for unexpected access attempts.
