AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an unauthenticated broken access control flaw in the WordPress Fluent Affiliate Pro plugin versions 1.6.4 and earlier. It allows an attacker to bypass standard authentication checks and invoke privileged functions of the plugin that should be restricted to authorized users. The flaw could enable manipulation of affiliate management data or configuration settings without proper authorization.

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites that have the Fluent Affiliate Pro plugin installed at version 1.6.4 or any older release are affected. The plugin is distributed by WP Manage Ninja and the issue exists across all versions up to and including 1.6.4.

Risk and Exploitability

The issue receives a CVSS score of 7.5, classifying it as high severity. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The flaw is unauthenticated and relies on accessing plugin endpoints through the web interface, making it likely that attackers can exploit it remotely without administrative credentials. Successful exploitation would grant the attacker elevated privileges within the WordPress administrative environment for the plugin.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update the WordPress Fluent Affiliate Pro plugin to the latest available version (at least 1.6.5).


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Fluent Affiliate Pro plugin to version 1.6.5 or newer, as this removes the broken access control checks.
  • Verify that WordPress user roles and capabilities are correctly configured so that unauthenticated or non-admin users lack permissions to manage the plugin.
  • If a quick update is not possible, consider disabling or uninstalling the plugin until a patch is applied, and monitor web server logs for suspicious activity.
