Executive Summary

CVE-2026-32423 is a Broken Access Control vulnerability in the WordPress Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) Plugin versions up to and including 8.4.0.

The issue arises from missing authorization, authentication, or nonce token checks within certain plugin functions, which allows unprivileged users to perform actions that should be restricted to higher-privileged roles such as contributors or developers.

This vulnerability is classified under the OWASP Top 10 category A1: Broken Access Control and has a CVSS severity score of 5.4, indicating a low priority and low impact threat.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows users with lower privileges to perform actions reserved for contributors or developers, potentially leading to unauthorized changes or access within the WordPress site.

However, exploitation requires contributor or developer privileges, and the vulnerability is considered unlikely to be widely exploited due to its low severity.
