AI Analysis

Impact

The KBoard plugin before version 6.7 fails to verify ownership or context when deleting board media, allowing unauthenticated attackers to permanently delete uploaded media files and their database records by iterating identifiers. This flaw results in loss of data integrity and potential site downtime.

Affected Systems

All WordPress installations using the KBoard plugin at or below version 6.6 are affected. Any site with the vulnerable media deletion endpoint exposed to the public is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low current exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Because the flaw permits deletion without authentication, an attacker can remove critical content and database entries through simple HTTP requests to the deletion endpoint, making the risk significant despite the low exploitation likelihood.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the KBoard plugin to version 6.7 or later, where deletion requires proper ownership verification.
  • Restrict the media deletion functionality to authenticated users with appropriate privileges through role‑based access control.
  • Configure the web server or application firewall to block unauthenticated access to the media deletion endpoint, possibly via HTTP authentication, IP whitelisting, or request filtering.
