Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
An action never checks whether the caller is allowed to perform it.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, with an ordinary user account, and nobody has to click anything. Success also depends on conditions the attacker does not fully control.
What an attacker gains
The direct impact is limited: partial access to data or a partial outage. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker reach data or actions their role should not allow.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade madalinungureanu Custom Post Types and Custom Fields creator to 2.4.1 or later.
- Until it is patched, review who holds accounts that can reach it.
Description from NVD
Custom Post Types and Custom Fields creator (WCK) before 2.4.1 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers with access to any WCK meta box to read custom-field values on posts they cannot edit by exploiting the wck_show_update_form AJAX handler, which lacks the capability checks enforced by other handlers and relies on a shared, non-unique nonce action. Attackers can send a crafted admin-ajax.php request with a valid wck-edit-entry nonce, a target meta key, and an arbitrary post ID to disclose sensitive post-meta or option values belonging to other users, including private or draft post data.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Permission checks in APIs and admin surfaces. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
- Multi-tenant services. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
Trust boundaries in play
- Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.
- Between one role or tenant and another. An attacker who crosses it can reach data or actions their role should not allow.
