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 confidenceThis is a Missing Authorization (Broken Access Control) vulnerability in the Etoile Web Design Order Tracking WordPress plugin. The plugin fails to properly enforce Access Control Lists (ACLs) on certain functionality, allowing authenticated users (or possibly unauthenticated users depending on the attack vector) to access administrative or privileged functions they should not have access to. This could enable privilege escalation or unauthorized data access.
