Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-24692 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Bulk Menu Edit WordPress plugin (bulk-menu-edit) by M.Code. The issue stems from exploiting incorrectly configured access control security levels and affects all versions from n/a through 1.3 inclusive. Published on 2025-02-14, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H).

An attacker requires low privileges (PR:L), such as those of an authenticated WordPress user, to exploit the vulnerability over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). Successful exploitation enables low impact to integrity (I:L) and high impact to availability (A:H), with no confidentiality impact (C:N), in an unchanged scope (S:U).
