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-2023-40603 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Gangesh Matta Simple Org Chart. 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-2023-40603/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40603/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40603","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40603/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40603","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m57w-mwxg-jc43"],"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":"Attackers can bypass authorization checks in the Simple Org Chart plugin to access restricted functionality without proper permissions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"simple_org_chart","vendor":"webtechforce"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in Gangesh Matta Simple Org Chart.This issue affects Simple Org Chart: from n/a through 2.3.4.","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 Simple Org Chart plugin \u003c= 2.3.4 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-40603","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":"WordPress Cookies by JM Plugin \u003c= 1.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-40604"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Doofinder for WooCommerce Plugin \u003c= 1.5.49 is vulnerable to Open Redirection","id":"CVE-2023-40602"},"products":["Simple Org Chart"],"published":"2024-06-12","related":[{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"WordPress Simple Org Chart Plugin \u003c= 2.3.4 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-28791","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-06"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"WordPress Simple Org Chart Plugin \u003c= 2.3.4 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-40008","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-06"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Gangesh Matta"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass authorization checks in the Simple Org Chart plugin to access restricted functionality without proper permissions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40603/"}
