This is a Broken Access Control vulnerability in the WordPress Query Wrangler Plugin versions up to 1.5.57. It allows users with a Subscriber role to perform actions that require higher privileges due to missing authorization checks. The issue is classified under OWASP Top 10's A1: Broken Access Control.

Detection Guidance

Check if the Query Wrangler plugin version 1.5.57 or lower is installed on your WordPress site. Log in as a Subscriber and attempt to access restricted admin functions or modify queries. Monitor for unauthorized changes to queries or unexpected user actions.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with a Subscriber role could exploit this to perform unauthorized actions on the WordPress site. While the CVSS score is low (4.3), it still poses a risk of data exposure or unintended modifications if exploited.
