Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-5525 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Limit Login Attempts Reloaded. 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-2023-5525/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5525/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-5525","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5525/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-5525","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xrp3-cvwg-fc64"],"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":"An authenticated user can toggle the plugin's auto-update status due to missing authorization checks on an AJAX action.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"limit_login_attempts_reloaded","vendor":"limitloginattempts"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The Limit Login Attempts Reloaded WordPress plugin before 2.25.26 is missing authorization on the `toggle_auto_update` AJAX action, allowing any user with a valid nonce to toggle the auto-update status of the plugin.","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":"Limit Login Attempts Reloaded \u003c 2.25.26 - Admin+ Missing Authorization to Toggle Plugin Auto-Update","id":"CVE-2023-5525","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":"Business Directory Plugin \u003c= 6.4.3 - Authenticated (Author+) CSV Injection","id":"CVE-2023-5527"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"M-Files Web Companion allows Remote Code Execution for some filetypes","id":"CVE-2023-5524"},"products":["Limit Login Attempts Reloaded"],"published":"2023-11-27","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35590","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-21"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Limit Login Attempts Reloaded \u003c= 2.25.26 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2023-6934","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-11"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35589","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-21"}],"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":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-01","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"An authenticated user can toggle the plugin's auto-update status due to missing authorization checks on an AJAX action.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5525/"}
