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-2023-52229/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52229/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-52229","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52229/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-52229","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4855-75hx-mc35"],"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 Word Replacer Pro 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":[],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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 Save as PDF plugin by Pdfcrowd Word Replacer Pro.This issue affects Word Replacer Pro: from n/a through 1.0.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Word Replacer Pro plugin \u003c= 1.0 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-52229","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":"Missing authorization in Booster Plus for WooCommerce","id":"CVE-2023-52230"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Beds24 Online Booking plugin \u003c= 2.0.24 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-52228"},"products":["Word Replacer Pro"],"published":"2024-03-20","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":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Save as PDF plugin by Pdfcrowd"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass authorization checks in the Word Replacer Pro plugin to access restricted functionality without proper permissions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52229/"}
