AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Missing authorization in Responsive Blocks plugin (≤2.2.0) allows unprivileged users to execute higher-privileged actions, risking unauthorized site modifications.
The Responsive Blocks plugin for WordPress (responsive-block-editor-addons) contains a missing authorization vulnerability in versions up to and including 2.2.0. This flaw stems from incorrectly configured access control security levels, allowing exploitation of broken access controls [1].
Attackers can exploit this vulnerability without needing any special authentication or privileges, as the missing authorization checks fail to validate user permissions for certain functions. The vulnerability is known to be used in mass-exploit campaigns, targeting thousands of websites regardless of size or popularity [1].
Successful exploitation enables an unprivileged user to perform actions that are normally restricted to higher-privileged roles, such as administrators. This could lead to unauthorized modification of site content, settings, or other sensitive operations.
Mitigation is straightforward: update the Responsive Blocks plugin to version 2.2.1 or later, which addresses the broken access control. Patchstack users can enable auto-update for vulnerable plugins [1].
