Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 0/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Fixed version: Unknown CatFolders 2.5.7.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Unknown CatFolders 2.5.7 or later.
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 CatFolders WordPress plugin before 2.5.7 does not have authorisation checks on a folder maintenance action, allowing users with a role as low as subscriber to reset the per-user ownership of every media folder and disable the CatFolders WordPress plugin before 2.5.7's user restriction setting.
