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 Icegram Icegram icegram allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Icegram: from n/a through <= 3.1.35.

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 the Icegram WordPress plugin allows authenticated attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. The plugin fails to properly validate user permissions before granting access to certain functionality, enabling unauthorized actions.

MitigationUpdate Icegram plugin to the latest version to obtain the vendor patch. If immediate update is not possible, restrict plugin access to trusted administrator-level users only and audit user capabilities.

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 Icegram plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Icegram' in the list. Note whether it is Active or Inactive.
    Affected if Icegram plugin is installed and Active - the vulnerability only applies to active installations
  2. Identify installed Icegram version
    Click 'View details' next to Icegram in the plugins list, or check the plugin file header in wp-content/plugins/icegram/icegram.php for the 'Version' comment. Compare this to the vendor's latest patched version.
    Affected if Running any version of Icegram that predates the vendor patch - no specific version range was provided, so assume all versions may be vulnerable until confirmed fixed
  3. Audit WordPress user roles with access
    Go to Users > All Users in WordPress admin. Identify any users with roles below Administrator (Editor, Author, Contributor, Subscriber) or any custom roles. These could potentially exploit the authorization flaw if the plugin doesn't properly validate their permissions.
    Affected if Non-Administrator users exist with WordPress user accounts - the vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with insufficient privileges to perform unauthorized actions
  4. Check for exposed Icegram functionality
    Examine if Icegram's admin interfaces or functionality are accessible without proper capability checks. This may require reviewing the plugin's PHP files for 'current_user_can' or 'capability' checks around sensitive functions, or testing access with a lower-privileged test account.
    Affected if The plugin permits access to administrative features without verifying user capabilities - this indicates the authorization check is missing or insufficient
  5. Review user capability assignments
    Check if any custom capabilities have been granted to lower-privileged roles, particularly capabilities starting with 'icegram_' or similar, using a plugin like 'User Role Editor' or via WP-CLI: wp user list --role=editor --fields=ID,roles
    Affected if Non-Administrator users have been granted elevated capabilities that should be restricted to admins

You are affected if the Icegram plugin is active, non-Administrator user accounts exist on your site, and the plugin's access controls fail to properly validate permissions before allowing administrative actions.
