Executive Summary

CVE-2026-24638 is a Broken Access Control vulnerability in the WordPress RepairBuddy Plugin versions 4.1121 and earlier. It allows unprivileged users, such as those with a Subscriber role, to perform actions that normally require higher privileges due to missing authorization, authentication, or nonce token checks.

This means that the plugin does not properly restrict access to certain functions, enabling attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is considered low severity with a CVSS score of 4.3. However, it allows attackers with low privileges to perform actions that should be restricted, potentially leading to unauthorized changes or misuse of the plugin's features.

Attackers may exploit this vulnerability in mass campaigns targeting thousands of websites, which could result in unauthorized modifications or disruptions.

Users are advised to update to version 4.1125 or later to mitigate this risk.

Mitigation Strategies

The immediate step to mitigate this vulnerability is to update the WordPress RepairBuddy Plugin to version 4.1125 or later, which contains the patch for the Broken Access Control issue.

If updating is not possible immediately, users should seek assistance from their hosting provider or web developer.

Patchstack users can enable auto-updates for vulnerable plugins to ensure timely patching.
