This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to the plugin to change the 'validation_token' in the plugin config, providing access to the plugin's remote control functionalities, such as creating an admin access URL, which can be used for privilege escalation.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-345"],"references":["https://lana.report/publication/6e779e9a-e0f9-4102-9f0b-ad46e9c4533f/","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wordapp/trunk/includes/access.php#L28","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wordapp/trunk/includes/config.php#L59","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wordapp/trunk/includes/pdx.php#L64","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3063322/wordapp"],"products":["wordapp:wordapp"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:38:24.161619714+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-2987","score":0.00526,"percentile":0.44616,"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).
