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 WPFunnels WPFunnels wpfunnels allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WPFunnels: from n/a through <= 3.6.2.

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 WPFunnels WordPress plugin through version 3.6.2 contains a missing authorization vulnerability allowing exploitation of incorrectly configured access control security levels. This could permit unauthenticated or unauthorized users to access or modify funnel-related data and settings they should not have permission to access.

MitigationUpdate WPFunnels to the latest version when a patch is released, or implement proper capability checks and nonce validation on all affected plugin functions that handle sensitive operations.

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. Confirm WPFunnels plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins, or check /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'wpfunnels' or similar. Also check for files like 'wpfunnels.php' in the plugins directory.
    Affected if The plugin folder exists in the WordPress plugins directory and contains the plugin files.
  2. Verify WPFunnels plugin is active
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and check if WPFunnels shows as 'Active'. Alternatively, query the wp_options table for option_name = 'active_plugins' and check if WPFunnels is listed.
    Affected if The plugin is installed and currently active on the WordPress site.
  3. Determine installed WPFunnels version
    Check the plugin main file header (e.g., wpfunnels.php) for the 'Version' comment, or view the plugin in WordPress admin plugins list where the version is displayed, or query the wp_options table for option_name containing 'wpfunnels_version'.
    Affected if The installed version is 3.6.2 or any earlier version (the vulnerability affects through 3.6.2).
  4. Check for public-facing funnel endpoints
    Inspect the site's public URLs for funnel-related paths such as /funnel/, /wpfunnels/, /funnels/, or any custom endpoints registered by the plugin. These are accessible without authentication if the vulnerability exists.
    Affected if Funnel-related public endpoints are accessible without requiring login or authorization checks.

The environment is affected if WPFunnels plugin is installed, active, and running version 3.6.2 or earlier, with public-facing endpoints that lack proper authorization controls.
