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 Mario Peshev WP-CRM System wp-crm-system allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WP-CRM System: from n/a through <= 3.4.5.

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 WP-CRM System plugin lacks proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated users to bypass configured access control security levels. This missing authorization vulnerability enables lower-privileged users (e.g., subscribers) to access functionality or data intended for higher-privilege roles, likely through admin AJAX endpoints or pages that don't verify user capabilities before executing sensitive operations.

MitigationUpdate to the latest version of WP-CRM System once available. Until then, restrict plugin access to trusted administrator-level users only and audit user role assignments.

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-CRM System plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins and confirm 'WP-CRM System' appears in the installed plugins list
    Affected if plugin is present in the environment
  2. Identify installed plugin version
    In Plugins list, click on WP-CRM System details or view the plugin header file (usually wp-content/plugins/wp-crm-system/wp-crm-system.php) to read the Version defined in the plugin metadata
    Affected if version cannot be determined or is older than the patched release
  3. Audit user accounts with low privilege roles
    Go to WordPress Admin > Users and review the list for accounts assigned roles such as Subscriber, Contributor, or Customer. Note their usernames and email addresses
    Affected if any user accounts exist with Subscriber, Contributor, or other low-privilege roles
  4. Confirm AJAX endpoints lack capability checks
    Inspect the plugin PHP files (especially ajax-handling functions in wp-content/plugins/wp-crm-system/) for admin AJAX action callbacks. Verify whether these callbacks invoke current_user_can() or similar capability checks before executing privileged operations
    Affected if AJAX endpoints execute without verifying user capabilities

The environment is affected if the WP-CRM System plugin is installed and lower-privileged user accounts exist alongside AJAX endpoints that bypass capability verification.
