Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-25401 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the WPCargo Track & Trace WordPress plugin by Arni Cinco. The flaw stems from incorrectly configured access control security levels, allowing exploitation of broken access controls. It affects the plugin from unknown initial versions through 8.0.2 and was published on 2026-03-25 with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables high-impact confidentiality violations, such as unauthorized access to sensitive data protected by the plugin's tracking and trace functionality.

Affected Assets

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match
prevent

Enforces approved authorizations for logical access to information and system resources, directly addressing the missing authorization and incorrectly configured access controls in the WPCargo plugin.

AC-14 Permitted Actions Without Identification or Authentication good match
prevent

Identifies and authorizes only specific actions performable without identification or authentication, preventing unauthenticated attackers from exploiting the track and trace functionality.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match
prevent

Employs least privilege to restrict access to sensitive tracking data only to necessary users or roles, mitigating over-permissive access levels.
