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
The REST API TO MiniProgram plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.2. This is due to the permission callback (update_user_wechatshop_info_permissions_check) only validating that the supplied 'openid' parameter corresponds to an existing WordPress user, while the callback function (update_user_wechatshop_info) uses a separate, attacker-controlled 'userid' parameter to determine which user's metadata gets modified, with no verification that the 'openid' and 'userid' belong to the same user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify arbitrary users' store-related metadata (storeinfo, storeappid, storename) via the 'userid' REST API parameter.

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 · high confidence

The REST API TO MiniProgram WordPress plugin has an IDOR vulnerability where the permission callback validates the 'openid' parameter but the actual callback function uses a separate attacker-controlled 'userid' parameter without verifying both belong to the same user. This allows authenticated subscribers to modify arbitrary users' store metadata (storeinfo, storeappid, storename).

MitigationUpdate the plugin to a patched version once available, or implement proper authorization checks verifying that the 'userid' corresponds to the authenticated user before modifying metadata.

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. Confirm plugin installation
    Check if the REST API TO MiniProgram plugin is installed in WordPress by looking in wp-content/plugins/ for a folder named 'rest-api-to-miniprogram' or similar, or via WordPress admin panel under Plugins
    Affected if The plugin is installed and active
  2. Identify plugin version
    Check the plugin version in the plugin's main PHP file header (usually in the plugin folder root, look for 'Version:' comment) or in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins
    Affected if The installed version matches or precedes the vulnerable version range (verify against official vulnerability disclosure)
  3. Verify REST API endpoint accessibility
    Test if the plugin's REST API endpoints are publicly accessible by making a GET request to endpoints like /wp-json/miniprogram/v1/ or similar paths exposed by the plugin
    Affected if The REST API endpoints respond and are not restricted by additional authentication layers
  4. Check user role configuration
    In WordPress admin, navigate to Users > Subscribers and verify that the 'subscriber' role exists and has API access permissions, or check if any subscriber-level accounts exist on the site
    Affected if Subscriber-level users exist with API access privileges
  5. Test parameter behavior (if safe to do so)
    With a low-privilege subscriber account, attempt to send a crafted request to the affected endpoint with mismatched 'openid' and 'userid' parameters to observe if authorization is properly enforced
    Affected if The API accepts a 'userid' parameter that differs from the authenticated user's identity without proper ownership verification

A user is affected if the REST API TO MiniProgram plugin is installed and active, the vulnerable endpoint is accessible, and subscriber-level accounts can manipulate store metadata belonging to other users via mismatched openid/userid parameters.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Update the plugin to a patched version once available, or implement proper authorization checks verifying that the 'userid' corresponds to the authenticated user before modifying metadata.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Latest version higher than 5.1.2 (check WordPress plugin repository for current stable release)

  1. 1. Log in to the WordPress admin dashboard
  2. 2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
  3. 3. Locate the 'REST API TO MiniProgram' plugin
  4. 4. Check if an update is available (version higher than 5.1.2)
  5. 5. If an update is available, click 'Update Now' to install the latest version
  6. 6. After updating, verify the plugin is functioning correctly
  7. 7. Confirm the permission callback now properly validates that 'openid' and 'userid' belong to the same user
