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 IgnitionDeck WordPress plugin allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. The plugin fails to properly verify user permissions before allowing access to certain functionality, enabling unauthorized actions based on improperly configured security roles.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks across all plugin functions, enforce role-based access control (RBAC) consistently, and update to the latest version if available after reviewing vendor security advisories.

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 IgnitionDeck plugin is installed
    Log into WordPress admin panel, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and look for 'IgnitionDeck' in the list. Alternatively, check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for an ignitiondeck folder.
    Affected if IgnitionDeck plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify installed IgnitionDeck version
    In WordPress admin, click on the IgnitionDeck plugin to view its details, which typically displays the version number. Alternatively, check the main plugin file header in /wp-content/plugins/ignitiondeck/ or check the readme.txt file for the Version: field.
    Affected if Version number is displayed and can be compared to any official vulnerability advisories
  3. Check for improperly configured user roles
    Navigate to WordPress Users > Roles (or use a role management plugin) and review any custom IgnitionDeck security roles. Examine the capabilities assigned to roles below Administrator (Editor, Author, Contributor, Subscriber) to see if they include sensitive IgnitionDeck capabilities.
    Affected if Lower-privilege roles have capabilities that should be restricted to administrators
  4. Test authorization on sensitive IgnitionDeck functions
    Using a lower-privilege test account (e.g., Subscriber or Author), attempt to access IgnitionDeck backend pages directly via URL or use a security testing tool to check if admin-only functions are accessible without proper permission checks.
    Affected if A non-administrator user can access or execute functionality that should require administrator privileges
  5. Review plugin capability settings
    Navigate to IgnitionDeck settings in WordPress admin (usually under IgnitionDeck > Settings or similar) and review any security level, role restriction, or access control configuration options.
    Affected if Security settings allow any registered user or low-privilege role to access sensitive functionality

A user is affected if the IgnitionDeck plugin is installed and either the version lacks proper authorization checks or low-privilege users can access admin-level functionality due to misconfigured access controls.
