Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2022-27235 affects the WordPress Social Share Buttons by Supsystic plugin up to version 2.2.3. An authenticated WordPress user could bypass intended access controls, creating limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability risk. This is more urgent for multi-user WordPress sites than single-admin sites.

Executive priority

Treat as a moderate-priority WordPress hygiene issue. Prioritize sites with public registration, many contributors, customers, or shared administrative workflows.

Technical view

The source bundle describes multiple broken access control issues in Social Share Buttons by Supsystic <= 2.2.3. CVSS 3.1 is 6.3 with network access, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and low C/I/A impact. CWE is listed as CWE-264.

Likely exposure

Exposure is likely limited to WordPress sites with this plugin installed at version 2.2.3 or earlier, especially sites allowing non-admin logins.

Exploitation context

The bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or other evidence of active exploitation. The CVSS vector indicates exploitation requires network access and a low-privileged authenticated account, but not user interaction.

Researcher notes

The bundle identifies affected product and version range, CVSS, CWE, and references, but does not provide endpoint detail, exploit evidence, or a confirmed fixed version. Avoid assuming active exploitation or specific patch levels without vendor confirmation.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory WordPress sites for Social Share Buttons by Supsystic.
  • Confirm whether installed versions are 2.2.3 or earlier.
  • Check vendor, WordPress.org, and Patchstack guidance for a fixed release.
  • Update when a vendor-supported fixed version is confirmed.
  • Disable or remove the plugin if it is unnecessary or unsupported.
  • Limit WordPress account creation and privileges where feasible.

Validation and detection

  • Check plugin inventory across production and staging WordPress sites.
  • Record installed plugin versions and compare against <= 2.2.3.
  • Review WordPress roles with access to affected sites.
  • Test authorization behavior in staging using approved low-privileged accounts.
  • Review logs for unusual plugin-related administrative changes.
  • Document remediation status per affected site.
