Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Social Auto Poster plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access, modification, and loss of data due to a missing capability check on multiple functions in all versions up to, and including, 5.3.14. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to add, modify, or delete post meta and plugin options.

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 · high confidence

The Social Auto Poster WordPress plugin lacks capability checks on multiple functions, allowing unauthenticated attackers to directly modify post meta and plugin options. This is a broken access control vulnerability (CWE-862) where WordPress functions meant to be restricted are exposed without authorization, enabling arbitrary data modification.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to the latest version once available. Until then, restrict access to vulnerable endpoints via server-level configuration or disable the plugin if the risk is unacceptable. Implement proper WordPress capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) on all affected functions.

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 Social Auto Poster plugin is installed
    Log into WordPress admin and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, or inspect the wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder containing 'social-auto-poster' or 'wpwebinfotech'. Check if the plugin appears in the list.
    Affected if The plugin is installed and active.
  2. Determine installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin, click on the plugin to view its details and locate the version number. Alternatively, open the main plugin PHP file (usually social-auto-poster.php or similar in the plugin folder) and look for the 'Version' header comment.
    Affected if The version number is less than 5.3.15 (e.g., 5.3.14, 5.3.0, 4.x, etc.).
  3. Inspect plugin options for unauthorized changes
    In WordPress admin, navigate to the plugin settings page (usually under a menu item like Social Auto Poster or WPWeb > Social Auto Poster). Review all saved options for unexpected values, new or modified social media accounts, altered posting schedules, or unfamiliar configuration settings.
    Affected if Plugin options have been modified without administrator action, or unfamiliar settings/accounts are present.
  4. Check for unexpected post meta modifications
    Query the wp_postmeta table in the database, or use a plugin like WP Data Access or WP-CLI to search for post meta entries associated with the Social Auto Poster plugin (typically prefixed with '_sap_' or 'social_auto_poster_') that were created or modified unexpectedly.
    Affected if Post meta entries exist for posts you did not intend to have autoposted, or meta values have been altered without authorization.

Your environment is affected if the Social Auto Poster plugin by Wpwebinfotech is installed with a version lower than 5.3.15, as unauthenticated attackers can modify plugin options and post meta without capability checks.
