Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2023-25043 is a broken access control issue in the WordPress Data Tables Generator by Supsystic plugin through version 1.10.25. It is rated medium because exploitation requires a logged-in low-privilege user and the documented impact is limited to availability, not data theft or content alteration.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate WordPress plugin risk. It is not currently supported by the supplied evidence as actively exploited, but exposed sites with untrusted logged-in users should be reviewed and updated according to vendor guidance.
Technical view
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-863 Incorrect Authorization. The CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L, indicating network reachability, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and low availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely on WordPress sites running Data Tables Generator by Supsystic version 1.10.25 or earlier, particularly sites that allow untrusted users to authenticate. The source bundle does not identify affected configurations beyond the plugin and version range.
Exploitation context
The provided sources do not show CISA KEV inclusion, active exploitation, or public exploit status. The CVSS data indicates an attacker needs low privileges and no user interaction. Evidence is incomplete on exact vulnerable functionality and real-world exploitation.
Researcher notes
The record provides CVSS and CWE details but limited operational detail. Avoid assuming confidentiality or integrity impact because the supplied CVSS vector marks both as none. Validation should focus on plugin version, authentication exposure, and vendor-published remediation status.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for Data Tables Generator by Supsystic.
- If version 1.10.25 or earlier is installed, check Supsystic or Patchstack guidance for a fixed release.
- Restrict untrusted low-privilege accounts where this plugin remains installed.
- Monitor plugin activity and WordPress logs for unusual availability-related behavior.
Validation and detection
- Confirm plugin presence and installed version on each WordPress site.
- Compare installed versions against the affected range through 1.10.25.
- Review whether public registration or untrusted authenticated users exist.
- Check vendor, CVE, and Patchstack records for updated remediation details.
