Description
The Alba Board plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.3. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to access arbitrary private alba_card post data, including title, description, assignee, due date, tags, and comments, that is intended to be restricted to Administrators and Editors. The handler is registered via the wp_ajax_nopriv_ hook and its nonce is exposed to all site visitors through wp_localize_script on pages containing the [alba_board] shortcode, making this exploitable by unauthenticated users who can access any such page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Alba Board WordPress plugin allows an authenticated user with subscriber-level access or any visitor to retrieve private card information, including title, description, assignee, due date, tags, and comments, through a publicly exposed AJAX endpoint. This flaw is a classic authorization bypass (CWE-862) that compromises confidentiality by exposing data that should be visible only to administrators and editors. The impact is a data leak of potentially sensitive project or task details.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the Alba Board plugin by alejo30, versions 2.1.3 and earlier. The vulnerability exists in all releases up to and including 2.1.3, so any site that has not upgraded past this version is affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 rates the issue as moderate severity. While the EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the exposed AJAX endpoint and public nonce mean an attacker can easily gather private card data from any site that displays the [alba_board] shortcode. No authentication or privilege check protects the AJAX handler, so both authenticated subscribers and unauthenticated visitors can exploit the flaw. The risk therefore centers on inadvertent data leakage rather than privilege escalation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Alba Board plugin to version 2.1.4 or newer, if available.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, remove or disable the [alba_board] shortcode from publicly accessible pages to prevent the AJAX handler from being invoked.
  • As a temporary measure, unhook or remove the wp_ajax_nopriv_ endpoint handling the card details request so that unauthenticated requests cannot reach the vulnerable code.
