NVD · unedited
Missing Authorization vulnerability in RealMag777 TableOn posts-table-filterable allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects TableOn: from n/a through <= 1.0.5.1.

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 TableOn WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.0.5.1) contains a missing authorization vulnerability in its posts-table-filterable component. The plugin fails to properly enforce access control checks, allowing attackers to exploit incorrectly configured security levels and potentially access or manipulate data they should not have permission to view or modify.

MitigationUpdate TableOn to the latest version and review role-based access control (RBAC) configurations to ensure the posts-table-filterable component properly validates user capabilities before granting access to filtered data.

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 TableOn plugin installation and version
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate TableOn. Note the version number displayed, or check the plugin header in wp-content/plugins/tableon/tableon.php for the 'Version' field.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0.5.1 or lower.
  2. Confirm posts-table-filterable component is active
    Check WordPress admin for TableOn settings or shortcode usage that includes the filterable table feature. Look for [tableon] shortcodes with filterable parameter enabled, or check the TableOn settings panel for active filterable table configurations.
    Affected if Filterable table functionality is enabled or shortcodes with filterable features are in use.
  3. Inspect WordPress user roles and capabilities
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Users > Roles and Capabilities (or use a role management plugin) to review what roles have access to TableOn filtered data. Check if low-privilege roles (subscriber, contributor) can access the posts-table-filterable component.
    Affected if Users with limited roles (subscriber, contributor, or custom roles without manage_options capability) can access or manipulate filtered table data they should not see.
  4. Review plugin capability settings
    Check TableOn plugin settings under its configuration panel for capability requirements. Look for settings that control who can view/edit filtered tables - typically fields labeled as capability, access level, or permission.
    Affected if The component allows access without proper capability checks, or uses a permissive default capability like 'read' for sensitive data.

A user is affected if TableOn plugin version is 1.0.5.1 or lower AND the posts-table-filterable component is actively used, especially if low-privilege users can access data beyond their intended permission level.
