This flaw permits an attacker to obtain sensitive account details, take over the target account, and compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the site. The weakness is an authorization bypass, reflected by CWE‑269.
Affected Systems
This issue appears in all WordPress installations that the FooSales plugin with a version lower than 1.43.3. Any site that has not upgraded to 1.43.3 or newer is susceptible, regardless of the site’s user base or configuration.
Risk and Exploitability
The flaw scores a CVSS of 8.8, indicating high severity. Even with an EPSS of less than 1%, the lack of access controls means a credentialed attacker can easily structure the required requests, so the likelihood of exploitation remains significant once an account is compromised. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, but the difficulty of the attack is low, making it a priority for remediation.
