Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 11 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Upgrade the Clockinator Lite WordPress plugin to version 1.1.0 or later, where authorization and ownership checks are implemented to prevent unauthorized modifications of leave requests. No other mitigation guidance is provided.

Description

The Clockinator Lite WordPress plugin versions before 1.1.0 have a vulnerability where the plugin does not verify authorization or ownership when updating leave requests. This flaw allows unauthenticated users to modify any leave record, including approving, rejecting, or reassigning leave requests to other users.

Impact

Unauthenticated attackers can modify leave requests in the affected plugin, including approving or rejecting requests and reassigning them to other users. This could lead to unauthorized changes in leave management, potentially disrupting organizational workflows or enabling privilege abuse within the system.

Summary

The Clockinator Lite WordPress plugin prior to version 1.1.0 lacks proper authorization and ownership checks during the update process of leave requests. This security weakness enables unauthenticated attackers to alter leave records arbitrarily, such as changing the status of requests or reassigning them to different users without any authentication or permission validation.
