This is due to improper validation and authorization checks within the badgeos_delete_step_ajax_handler, badgeos_delete_award_step_ajax_handler, badgeos_delete_deduct_step_ajax_handler, and badgeos_delete_rank_req_step_ajax_handler functions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to delete arbitrary posts.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":4.3},"cwes":["CWE-639"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/badgeos/trunk/includes/points/award-steps-ui.php#L384","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/badgeos/trunk/includes/points/deduct-steps-ui.php#L441","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/badgeos/trunk/includes/ranks/rank-steps-ui.php#L375","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/badgeos/trunk/includes/steps-ui.php#L371","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/ebb9e37c-9e8b-429b-b4ef-cd875351852c?source=cve"],"products":["badgeos:badgeos"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:39:14.809778102+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-2173","score":0.00515,"percentile":0.43874,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
