AI Analysis

Impact

The MCP Content Manager Lite plugin version 1.1.0 or earlier contains a flaw that allows a user with subscriber privileges to bypass the intended permission checks, permitting actions normally restricted to higher‑level roles. This failure undermines the integrity of the content management process within WordPress sites using the plugin.

Affected Systems

WordPress installations that have the MCP Content Manager Lite plugin from vendor Jose Conti version 1.1.0 or earlier deployed are impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 classifies the issue as moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no widespread exploitation has been documented. An attacker who possesses subscriber level credentials can exploit the broken access control to gain unauthorized access to restricted plugin functionality, potentially compromising the site’s content integrity.
