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 JetTabs jet-tabs allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects JetTabs: from n/a through <= 2.2.12.

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 JetTabs WordPress plugin versions up to 2.2.12 contain a missing authorization vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels, potentially enabling unauthorized access to protected functionality.

MitigationUpdate JetTabs to the latest version if a patched release is available; otherwise, audit the plugin's access control implementation and add proper authorization checks to all sensitive functions.

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 JetTabs plugin is installed
    Log into WordPress admin and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, or inspect the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for the jettabs folder
    Affected if JetTabs plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Locate the installed JetTabs version number
    In WordPress admin, find JetTabs in the plugins list and read the version number from the plugin row; alternatively, open the main plugin file (e.g., jettabs.php) and check the 'Version' header in the plugin comment block
    Affected if Unable to determine the version number from plugin files
  3. Compare your version against the affected range
    Compare the installed version to the vulnerable range: versions 2.2.12 and lower are affected
    Affected if Installed version is 2.2.12 or any version number lower than 2.2.12 (for example, 2.2.10, 2.1.5, 2.0.0)
  4. Confirm the vulnerability applies to your setup
    This vulnerability is a missing authorization flaw in access control security levels; the issue exists in the plugin code itself regardless of specific configuration, so any installation of an affected version is potentially vulnerable
    Affected if JetTabs is installed and the version is 2.2.12 or lower

Your environment is affected if the JetTabs WordPress plugin is installed with version 2.2.12 or any earlier version.
