Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-31423 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Alex Volkov WP Accessibility Helper (WAH). 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-2024-31423/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-31423/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-31423","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-31423/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-31423","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f44g-xj93-9xvh"],"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 authorization checks in the WP Accessibility Helper 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":"wp_accessibility_helper","vendor":"volkov"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","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":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in Alex Volkov WP Accessibility Helper (WAH).This issue affects WP Accessibility Helper (WAH): from n/a through 0.6.2.5.","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 WP Accessibility Helper (WAH) plugin \u003c= 0.6.2.5 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-31423","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Login with Phone Number plugin \u003c= 1.6.93 - Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-31424"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator plugin \u003c= 1.3.29 - Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-31422"},"products":["WP Accessibility Helper (WAH)"],"published":"2024-06-09","related":[{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"WP Accessibility Helper \u003c= 0.6.2.8 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Limited Settings Update","id":"CVE-2024-5987","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-29"}],"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":["Alex Volkov"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass authorization checks in the WP Accessibility Helper plugin to access restricted functionality without proper permissions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-31423/"}
