Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-40678 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Andrew Fiebert Simple URLs. 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-2023-40678/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40678/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40678","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40678/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40678","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wf5h-h44v-7hcj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls in the Simple URLs WordPress plugin to perform unauthorized actions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in Andrew Fiebert Simple URLs simple-urls allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Simple URLs: from n/a through \u003c= 117.","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 URLs plugin \u003c= 117 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-40678","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 Master Elementor Addons plugin \u003c= 2.0.5.3 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-40679"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Vertical Marquee Plugin Plugin \u003c= 7.1 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-40677"},"products":["Simple URLs"],"published":"2024-12-13","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Andrew Fiebert"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls in the Simple URLs WordPress plugin to perform unauthorized actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40678/"}
