CVE-2026-15293: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in joeyoungblood WP Business Intelligence Lite
The WP Business Intelligence Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.0. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify stored SQL queries, which can lead to privilege escalation via arbitrary SQL execution when the modified query is viewed by an administrator.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-15293 is an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-862) in the WP Business Intelligence Lite WordPress plugin. The plugin fails to properly verify user authorization before allowing modifications to stored SQL queries. Authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level privileges or above can exploit this to alter SQL queries, potentially causing privilege escalation via arbitrary SQL execution upon administrator interaction. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.2.0. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.0, indicating high severity.
Potential Impact
An attacker with low-level authenticated access (Subscriber or higher) can bypass authorization controls to modify stored SQL queries. This can lead to privilege escalation through arbitrary SQL execution when an administrator views the manipulated queries, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or vendor advisory has been provided at this time. Until a patch is available, restrict user roles and privileges to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to query modifications.
