No public nuclei template indexed

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 10 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

A fixed version 2.2.4 or later of the iChart WordPress plugin addresses this issue by implementing proper capability and ownership checks. Users should upgrade to version 2.2.4 or later to remediate this vulnerability. No other mitigation guidance is provided.

Description

The iChart WordPress plugin versions before 2.2.4 lack proper capability and ownership checks in multiple AJAX actions. Instead, they rely solely on a nonce accessible to any logged-in user, including those with the Subscriber role. This flaw allows such users to read, modify, and permanently delete arbitrary posts and overwrite a site-wide option.

Impact

Users with the lowest WordPress role (Subscriber) can perform unauthorized actions including reading, modifying, and permanently deleting arbitrary posts, as well as overwriting a site-wide option. This compromises content integrity and site configuration, potentially leading to data loss and site misconfiguration.

Summary

The iChart WordPress plugin prior to version 2.2.4 does not enforce capability or ownership verification in several AJAX endpoints. The plugin relies only on a nonce mechanism that any authenticated user can obtain, regardless of their role. Consequently, users with minimal privileges (Subscriber role) can exploit this to read, modify, and delete arbitrary posts and alter a site-wide option, leading to unauthorized content manipulation and configuration changes.
