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 Crocoblock JetWooBuilder jet-woo-builder allows Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs.This issue affects JetWooBuilder: from n/a through <= 2.1.18.

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

Missing authorization vulnerability in JetWooBuilder allows unauthenticated or unauthorized users to access functionality that should be restricted by access control lists (ACLs). The plugin fails to properly validate user capabilities before executing certain functions, potentially allowing privilege escalation or unauthorized data access.

MitigationUpdate JetWooBuilder to the latest version >= 2.1.19 which contains proper authorization checks. If immediate update is not possible, restrict access to the affected plugin endpoints at the server level and audit user roles/permissions.

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 JetWooBuilder plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for JetWooBuilder, or check the wp-content/plugins directory for the jet-woo-builder folder
    Affected if JetWooBuilder plugin is present on the site
  2. Check installed JetWooBuilder version
    Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins > JetWooBuilder and view the version number displayed, or check the main plugin file header for the Version tag
    Affected if Version is lower than 2.1.19 (vulnerable versions)
  3. Test AJAX endpoint accessibility without authentication
    Send a direct POST request to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with a JetWooBuilder action (such as jet_woo_builder_ajax or similar plugin-specific actions) without providing valid authentication credentials
    Affected if The request executes without returning an authorization error or requiring capability verification
  4. Verify user role capability enforcement
    Attempt to access JetWooBuilder settings or template management pages using a subscriber-level or logged-out user account, observing whether access is denied
    Affected if Lower-privileged users can access admin-level JetWooBuilder functions without proper capability checks

A site is affected if JetWooBuilder version lower than 2.1.19 is installed and the missing authorization allows unauthenticated or low-privileged users to access restricted plugin functionality.
