AI Analysis

Impact

The App Builder WordPress plugin before version 5.7.1 lacks authentication or authorization checks before allowing a user to write arbitrary data to a plugin option. A separate request then uses that stored data to build a redirect URL, causing the visitor’s browser to navigate to an attacker‑controlled site. The vulnerability permits an unauthenticated actor to change plugin configuration and facilitate phishing or defacement attacks, compromising confidentiality and availability of the site.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the App Builder plugin version 5.7.0 or earlier are affected. The vendor is listed as Unknown:App Builder; no further product details are available.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score is not provided, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is through the public network, requiring no special credentials. An attacker can complete the write and trigger the redirect in a single session, potentially redirecting users to malicious pages.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the App Builder plugin to version 5.7.1 or later, which removes the unauthenticated option write and redirect functionality.
  • Disable or remove the vulnerable option entry if it cannot be upgraded immediately, preventing the redirect from using stored data.
  • Apply strict role‑based access controls so that only authorized administrators can modify plugin options and limit redirect targets to approved domains.
