Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-34389 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: AF themes WP Post Author. 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-2024-34389/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-34389/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-34389","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-34389/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-34389","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9hr4-r2h6-9m6f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass authorization checks in the WP Post Author plugin to perform unauthorized actions or modify data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"wp_post_author","vendor":"afthemes"}],"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 AF themes WP Post Author.This issue affects WP Post Author: from n/a through 3.6.4.","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 WP Post Author plugin \u003c= 3.6.4 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-34389","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 Post Grid Master plugin \u003c= 3.4.8 - Auth.
