Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Missing Authorization issue in the weDevs WP User Frontend plugin (version up to 4.2.5). It allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels, potentially bypassing restrictions that should prevent unauthorized actions.

Impact Analysis

Exploiting this vulnerability could allow unauthorized users to perform actions or access data that should be restricted, potentially leading to data exposure, unauthorized modifications, or other security breaches within the affected WordPress site.

Compliance Impact

The CVE-2026-24364 vulnerability is a broken access control issue that allows unauthorized privilege escalation in the WP User Frontend plugin. Such unauthorized access can lead to exposure or manipulation of sensitive user data, which may impact compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA that require strict access controls and protection of personal information.

Failure to properly restrict access could result in unauthorized users accessing or modifying data they should not have access to, potentially leading to data breaches or violations of privacy requirements mandated by these standards.

Therefore, organizations using affected versions of the plugin should promptly update to the patched version or apply mitigations to maintain compliance with such regulations.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is a broken access control issue in the WP User Frontend WordPress plugin versions up to 4.2.5, allowing unprivileged users to perform unauthorized actions.

Detection typically involves monitoring for unusual or unauthorized actions performed by low-privilege users that should require higher privileges.

Specific commands or detection scripts are not provided in the available resources.
