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 AA-Team WZone woozone allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WZone: from n/a through <= 14.0.31.

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

A missing authorization vulnerability in the AA-Team WZone (woozone) WordPress/WooCommerce plugin allows authenticated attackers to access functionality or data beyond their intended permission level due to incorrectly configured access control security levels. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 14.0.31, indicating the plugin lacks proper capability checks or role-based access controls on certain operations.

MitigationUpdate to the latest version of WZone if a patched release is available; otherwise, review the plugin's code for missing authorization checks on sensitive functions and implement proper capability checks using WordPress current_user_can() or role-based access controls.

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 WZone plugin is installed
    Check for the presence of the WZone plugin in your WordPress installation by looking for the /wp-content/plugins/woozone/ directory, or query the WordPress database in wp_options for option_name='active_plugins' and look for 'woozone' entry
    Affected if The plugin directory exists or the plugin is listed in active_plugins
  2. Identify installed WZone version
    Locate the main plugin file (usually woozone/woozone.php) and look for the version comment in the file header, or check the WordPress plugins admin page for the installed version number
    Affected if Version is 14.0.31 or lower (any version up to and including 14.0.31)
  3. Check for sensitive admin functions lacking authorization
    Review the plugin source code files for functions that perform sensitive operations (such as database modifications, settings changes, or data exports) and verify whether they include WordPress capability checks like current_user_can() before executing
    Affected if Sensitive functions are found without current_user_can() checks or other authorization logic
  4. Audit user roles and permissions
    In WordPress admin, navigate to Users > Roles or use a role management plugin to review which user roles have access to WZone functionality, particularly any custom roles created by the plugin
    Affected if Lower-privileged users (such as Subscribers, Contributors, or Authors) have been granted access to WZone-specific capabilities or admin-level functions

Your environment is affected if the WZone plugin versions 14.0.31 or lower are installed and sensitive functions lack proper capability checks, allowing authenticated users to perform actions beyond their assigned role permissions.
