Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-22699 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: MainWP Wordfence Extension. 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-2023-22699/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22699/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-22699","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22699/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-22699","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q35p-f3w6-f3f7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Subscribers can arbitrarily activate plugins due to missing authorization checks in the MainWP Wordfence Extension.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"mainwp_wordfence_extension","vendor":"mainwp"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in MainWP MainWP Wordfence Extension.This issue affects MainWP Wordfence Extension: from n/a through 4.0.7.","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":"WordPress MainWP Wordfence Extension Plugin \u003c= 4.0.7 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Plugin Activation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-22699","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in PixelYourSite – Your smart PIXEL (TAG) Manager","id":"CVE-2023-22700"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Theme Blvd Responsive Google Maps Plugin \u003c= 1.0.2 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-22698"},"products":["MainWP Wordfence Extension"],"published":"2024-03-25","related":[],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["MainWP"]},"summary":"Subscribers can arbitrarily activate plugins due to missing authorization checks in the MainWP Wordfence Extension.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22699/"}
