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 Claspo WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.0.7) contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. This broken access control issue permits unauthorized access to certain plugin functionality that should require proper authentication and authorization checks.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied patch or update to the latest version of the Claspo plugin once available. If no patch exists, restrict access to the affected plugin endpoints at the web server level until a fix is released.

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 Claspo plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Claspo', or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'claspo' or similar.
    Affected if The Claspo plugin appears in the installed plugins list or its folder exists in the plugins directory.
  2. Determine installed Claspo plugin version
    In WordPress admin, click on the Claspo plugin to view its details and note the version number displayed. Alternatively, open the main plugin file (e.g., claspo.php) in a text editor and look for the 'Version:' header in the plugin comment block.
    Affected if The version listed is 1.0.7 or lower.
  3. Confirm the broken access control vulnerability exists
    Using a tool like curl or Burp Suite, send a request to common Claspo plugin AJAX endpoints (such as /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=claspo_*) or direct PHP files in the /wp-content/plugins/claspo/ directory WITHOUT providing any authentication cookies or credentials.
    Affected if The server returns a successful HTTP response (200 OK) with data or performs the requested action instead of returning a 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden error.
  4. Check for unauthorized data access or modification
    Review server access logs for any requests to Claspo plugin endpoints originating from IP addresses that are not authenticated WordPress users, looking for successful responses.
    Affected if Requests to protected Claspo functionality succeed without valid authentication tokens.

If the Claspo plugin version is 1.0.7 or lower and its endpoints are accessible without authentication, the environment is affected by this CVE.
