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

Missing authorization vulnerability in WP-CRM System WordPress plugin allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. The plugin fails to properly validate user permissions before granting access to sensitive CRM functionality or data, potentially allowing lower-privileged users to access resources or perform actions beyond their authorized scope.

MitigationReview and implement proper authorization checks across all plugin functions, ensure role-based access control (RBAC) is correctly enforced for all user actions, and update to any available patched version.

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. Identify installed WP-CRM System version
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins, locate WP-CRM System and note the version number displayed
    Affected if The installed version falls within the affected version range (compare to any officially documented vulnerable versions)
  2. Review user role assignments
    Go to Users > All Users in WordPress admin, examine the assigned roles for each user account that has access to the WP-CRM System plugin
    Affected if Users with low-privileged roles (subscriber, contributor, author) have been granted access to CRM functionality or data
  3. Inspect WP-CRM access control settings
    Navigate to CRM > Settings > Access Control (or similar settings page within the plugin), examine which user roles can access which CRM modules
    Affected if Access control settings allow lower-privileged users to view, edit, or delete sensitive CRM records beyond their intended scope
  4. Test cross-user data access
    Log in as a low-privileged user (e.g., author) and attempt to access CRM records, contacts, or deals belonging to other users or higher-privileged accounts
    Affected if Lower-privileged users can view or modify CRM data they should not have permission to access
  5. Check for unauthorized admin actions
    As a non-administrator user with CRM access, attempt to access WordPress administrative functions or plugin settings that should require administrator privileges
    Affected if Non-administrator users can access administrative functions or modify plugin settings they should not be authorized to change

The environment is affected if the WP-CRM System version is vulnerable AND users with insufficient privileges can access or modify CRM data beyond their authorized scope.
