AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability arises from a broken access control in the MainWP plugin for WordPress, affecting versions up to 6.1.1. It allows users with subscriber privileges to perform actions reserved for higher‑level roles, potentially giving them unauthorized access to sensitive data or the ability to modify site settings. The weakness is classified as a broken access control (CWE‑862).

Affected Systems

The affected product is the MainWP plugin, a WordPress add‑on used for managing multiple sites. All installations of MainWP versions 6.1.1 or earlier are vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.3 places this vulnerability in the medium severity range. The EPSS score is not available, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attacker would need to authenticate as a subscriber or have access to a subscriber account, after which the broken access control could be exploited via normal plugin interfaces. No additional exploitation conditions are specified.

Remediation

Update the WordPress MainWP Plugin to the latest available version (at least 6.1.2).


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the MainWP plugin to version 6.1.2 or later.
  • Review and restrict subscriber role permissions to remove privileged actions exposed by the plugin; if necessary, temporarily disable the plugin until the update is applied.
  • Conduct a review of WordPress user role assignments and adjust any overly permissive memberships to enforce least privilege.
