Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-24357 is a medium-severity access-control flaw in the WordPress WP Recipe Maker plugin through version 10.2.4. A logged-in user with low privileges may be able to access information they should not. Public sources do not indicate active exploitation or provide detailed impact beyond limited confidentiality exposure.
Executive priority
Treat as routine but timely WordPress plugin remediation. Prioritize sites with user registration, contributor accounts, membership features, or sensitive recipe/business content. This is not currently evidenced as an emergency-level issue.
Technical view
The issue is CWE-862 Missing Authorization in Brecht WP Recipe Maker. CVSS 3.1 is 4.3: network exploitable, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, low confidentiality impact, no integrity or availability impact. Affected versions are reported as WP Recipe Maker through 10.2.4.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running WP Recipe Maker version 10.2.4 or earlier. The CVSS vector indicates an attacker needs an authenticated low-privilege account, reducing broad internet-scale risk but still relevant for sites with open registration or many contributors.
Exploitation context
No CISA KEV listing is present, and the provided sources do not report active exploitation. The vulnerability appears to be authenticated and focused on unauthorized access to limited information, not code execution, takeover, or service disruption.
Researcher notes
Public details are sparse. Sources identify missing authorization but do not describe affected endpoints, proof-of-concept availability, or a named fixed version. Do not assume unauthenticated exploitation; the CVSS vector requires low privileges.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites using the WP Recipe Maker plugin.
- Identify installations running WP Recipe Maker 10.2.4 or earlier.
- Check the plugin vendor and Patchstack guidance for a fixed release.
- Update the plugin if a vendor-approved fixed version is available.
- Restrict unnecessary WordPress user accounts and roles until remediated.
- Disable the plugin if risk is unacceptable and no fix is available.
Validation and detection
- Confirm the installed WP Recipe Maker version in WordPress administration.
- Review whether public registration or low-privilege accounts are enabled.
- Check WordPress logs for unusual low-privilege access to recipe plugin functions.
- Verify remediation by confirming the plugin is no longer in the affected version range.
- Monitor the CVE and Patchstack entries for updated technical details.
