AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-9503 is an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in the Maintenance & Coming Soon Redirect Animation WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.1.3). The issue arises because the plugin fails to enforce capability checks on functions responsible for adding or removing whitelisted roles and users, and saving uploaded animations. As a result, authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level privileges or higher can modify plugin settings without proper authorization. This vulnerability impacts integrity but not confidentiality or availability, and it requires at least low-privilege authenticated access.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level or higher access can modify plugin settings that should be restricted, potentially altering the behavior of the Maintenance & Coming Soon Redirect Animation plugin. This could lead to unauthorized changes in site presentation or redirect behavior. There is no indication of data disclosure or denial of service impact. The overall impact is limited to integrity of plugin configuration.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict Subscriber-level access to trusted users only. Monitor plugin updates from the vendor and apply any official patches promptly once released.
