An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-1598 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WPQA Builder. 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-2022-1598/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-1598/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-1598","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-1598/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-1598","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v9x9-r7q4-rfx4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can access private user messages via an unprotected REST API endpoint in the WPQA Builder plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wpqa_builder","vendor":"2code"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"}],"description":"The WPQA Builder WordPress plugin before 5.5 which is a companion to the Discy and Himer , lacks authentication in a REST API endpoint, allowing unauthenticated users to discover private questions sent between users on the site.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2022-05-30","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":1,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2022-05-30T10:54:19Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/V35HR4J/CVE-2022-1598","stars":1,"title":"WPQA \u003c 5.5 - Unauthenticated Private Message Disclosure"},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2022/CVE-2022-1598.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WordPress WPQA \u003c5.5 - Improper Access Control"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WPQA \u003c 5.5 - Unauthenticated Private Message Disclosure","id":"CVE-2022-1598","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Admin Management Xtended \u003c 2.4.5 - Post Visibility/Date/Comment Status Update via CSRF","id":"CVE-2022-1599"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WPQA \u003c 5.4 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-1597"},"products":["WPQA Builder"],"published":"2022-06-06","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"WPQA \u003c 6.1.1 - Arbitrary Category and Tag Follow/Unfollow via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-2376","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-03"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"WPQA \u003c 5.9 - Follow/Unfollow via CSRF","id":"CVE-2022-3688","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-21"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"WPQA \u003c 5.4 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-1597","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-06-06"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WPQA \u003c 6.1.1 - Contributor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-2375","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-03"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"WPQA \u003c 5.2 - Subscriber+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Profile fields","id":"CVE-2022-1051","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-16"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"WPQA \u003c 5.7 - Subscriber+ Private Message Disclosure via IDOR","id":"CVE-2022-2198","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-22"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can access private user messages via an unprotected REST API endpoint in the WPQA Builder plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-1598/"}
