AI Analysis

Impact

Unauthenticated broken access control exists in WordPress Easy Invoice plugin versions up to 2.3.8, enabling an attacker to invoke privileged actions without valid credentials. The weakness permits bypassing the plugin’s intended authorisation checks, potentially allowing the creation, modification, or deletion of invoice records and related administrative operations. The vulnerability is classified as CWE‑862 and can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of invoicing data.

Affected Systems

The plugin is distributed by MatrixAddons as "Easy Invoice". Any WordPress site running Easy Invoice 2.3.8 or older is affected. Up-to-date installations of 2.4.0 or newer are not vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity. EPSS data is not available, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting a lower attack likelihood. Nevertheless, exploitation would require submitting unauthenticated requests to the plugin’s endpoints, which is feasible over the web interface or via crafted HTTP calls. Given the lack of authentication checks, a remote attacker could obtain full control over the invoicing subsystem without any additional credentials.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update the WordPress Easy Invoice Plugin to the latest available version (at least 2.4.0).


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Easy Invoice plugin to version 2.4.0 or later to remove the access‑control flaw.
  • Restrict plugin configuration so only administrator or explicitly authorized roles can perform invoicing actions, and audit any existing permissions.
  • If an update cannot be applied immediately, disable the Easy Invoice plugin or remove it entirely from the site to eliminate the exposed entry points.
