An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-24906 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Protect WP Admin. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24906/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24906/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24906","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24906/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24906","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vfmc-6gqf-r52m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can deactivate the Protect WP Admin plugin, removing its security protections from the WordPress site.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"protect_wp_admin","vendor":"wp-experts"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The Protect WP Admin WordPress plugin before 3.6.2 does not check for authorisation in the lib/pwa-deactivate.php file, which could allow unauthenticated users to disable the plugin (and therefore the protection offered) via a crafted request","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Protect WP Admin \u003c 3.6.2 - Unauthenticated Plugin Deactivation","id":"CVE-2021-24906","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Everest Forms \u003c 1.8.0 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24907"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Advanced Contact form 7 DB \u003c 1.8.7 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary File Deletion","id":"CVE-2021-24905"},"products":["Protect WP Admin"],"published":"2022-01-24","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Protect WP Admin \u003c 4.0 - Unauthenticated Protection Bypass","id":"CVE-2023-3139","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-04"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can deactivate the Protect WP Admin plugin, removing its security protections from the WordPress site.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24906/"}
