WP Table Builder <= 2.2.1 - Incorrect Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary Post Deletion via 'ids' Parameter
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.55% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- No fixed version is recorded, but the references include a patch (commit or PR) link.
Low priority for now. See the fix and affected versions sections below.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
The WP Table Builder – Drag & Drop Table Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1. This is due to an operator precedence bug in the post-type guard within the trash_table_bulk() and restore_table_bulk() functions that causes the guard to never fire, combined with a permission callback that only verifies plugin role membership without per-post-type or ownership checks. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to trash or restore any post, page, or custom post type on the site by supplying arbitrary post IDs.
