NVD · unedited
Missing Authorization vulnerability in Saleswonder Team: Tobias WP2LEADS wp2leads.This issue affects WP2LEADS: from n/a through <= 3.2.7.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The WP2LEADS WordPress plugin up to version 3.2.7 has a missing authorization vulnerability, allowing users with low-privileged accounts (such as subscribers) to potentially access or modify data or perform actions that should require higher-level permissions. The specific affected endpoints or functions are not detailed in the available description.

MitigationImplement proper capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) and nonce verification on all sensitive AJAX actions and admin functions within the plugin. Update to the latest patched version when available.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify WP2LEADS plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for WP2LEADS in the list
    Affected if WP2LEADS plugin is present in the plugins directory
  2. Check installed WP2LEADS version
    In Plugins list, click on the plugin to view details, or check the plugin main file header for 'Version:' value
    Affected if Version is 3.2.7 or lower (any version up to and including 3.2.7)
  3. Identify low-privileged user roles
    Go to Users > All Users and review the roles assigned. Look for 'Subscriber' role users
    Affected if Any subscriber-level accounts exist on the site
  4. Check if plugin exposes AJAX endpoints
    Review plugin PHP files for 'add_action("wp_ajax_' hooks and verify if any lack capability checks via 'current_user_can()' before processing
    Affected if AJAX actions exist without capability checks, allowing subscriber-level access
  5. Inspect admin function accessibility
    Review plugin PHP files for 'add_menu_page' or 'add_submenu_page' calls and check if admin functions lack permission callbacks
    Affected if Admin pages or functions lack proper capability verification

A site is affected if WP2LEADS version 3.2.7 or lower is installed AND low-privileged subscriber accounts exist with potential access to unprotected AJAX or admin functions.
