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 Saad Iqbal WP EasyPay wp-easy-pay allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WP EasyPay: from n/a through <= 4.2.11.

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 WP EasyPay plugin <= 4.2.11 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. This likely enables unauthorized users to access or manipulate payment-related functionality that should require proper authentication and authorization checks.

MitigationUpdate WP EasyPay to the latest version to obtain the patched code with proper authorization controls implemented, or if no update is available, manually add capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) to all sensitive AJAX endpoints and admin 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 WP EasyPay plugin version
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins > WP EasyPay and read the version number displayed under the plugin name
    Affected if The installed version is 4.2.11 or lower
  2. Identify AJAX endpoints exposed by the plugin
    Inspect the plugin directory (typically wp-content/plugins/wp-easypay) for PHP files containing wp_ajax_ hooks, particularly those handling payment processing, user data, or sensitive operations
    Affected if AJAX endpoints exist that do not include current_user_can() or similar capability checks before executing sensitive logic
  3. Test unauthorized access to admin functions
    Attempt to access plugin admin pages or trigger plugin functions while logged in as a low-privilege user (subscriber or contributor) without administrative rights
    Affected if A user role without administrator privileges can access or execute payment-related functionality that should be restricted to admins
  4. Review capability checks in plugin PHP files
    Search plugin PHP files for the presence of current_user_can() calls before sensitive operations, particularly in AJAX handlers and admin action handlers
    Affected if Sensitive functions lack proper capability verification or the checks are missing entirely

A user is affected if the WP EasyPay plugin version is 4.2.11 or lower AND the plugin exposes functionality without proper authorization checks, allowing unauthorized users to access sensitive payment operations.
