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
Missing Authorization vulnerability in weDevs WP ERP erp allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WP ERP: from n/a through <= 1.13.4.

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

WP ERP plugin versions up to 1.13.4 contain a missing authorization vulnerability where the access control security levels are incorrectly configured, allowing authenticated users to potentially access functionality or data beyond their intended privilege level.

MitigationApply vendor patch/update to WP ERP to version 1.13.5 or later which addresses the authorization and access control misconfiguration.

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 WP ERP plugin is installed
    Check the WordPress plugins directory or access the Plugins page in WP Admin to confirm WP ERP is present and active
    Affected if WP ERP plugin is installed and active on the WordPress site
  2. Check installed WP ERP version
    Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins > WP ERP and view the version number displayed, or check the plugin header in wp-content/plugins/erp file
    Affected if Version is 1.13.4 or lower (any version up to and including 1.13.4)
  3. Identify user role configuration
    Review WordPress user roles and capabilities under Users > All Users in WP Admin to determine if any users with Subscriber, Contributor, Author, or Editor roles exist alongside WP ERP
    Affected if Authenticated users with limited WordPress roles (Subscriber through Editor) can access WP ERP functionality due to misconfigured access controls
  4. Check WP ERP module access settings
    Examine WP ERP settings under ERP > Settings to identify which modules (HR, Accounting, CRM) are enabled and whether role-based access restrictions are properly enforced
    Affected if ERP modules are enabled without proper role-based access controls, allowing lower-privileged users to access privileged functions

A WordPress site is affected if WP ERP version 1.13.4 or lower is installed with authenticated users having access to ERP modules beyond their intended privilege level due to the missing authorization vulnerability.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Apply vendor patch/update to WP ERP to version 1.13.5 or later which addresses the authorization and access control misconfiguration.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

WP ERP version 1.13.5 or later (latest stable release)

  1. 1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard
  2. 2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
  3. 3. Locate WP ERP in the plugin list
  4. 4. Check the current version number displayed under the plugin name
  5. 5. If the installed version is <= 1.13.4, update the plugin to the latest available version
  6. 6. After updating, verify the new version number confirms the upgrade was successful
  7. 7. Test critical WP ERP functionalities (HR, Accounting, CRM modules) to ensure the update did not break existing workflows
Caveat Review the WP ERP changelog before upgrading; minor updates typically have no breaking changes, but custom integrations should be tested
