WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The WordPress Portfolio Builder – Portfolio Gallery plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 1.1.7) contains a vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-13231. The vulnerability was discovered by researcher shaman0x01 and was publicly disclosed on February 18, 2025. The issue stems from a missing capability check on the 'add_video' function, which creates a security weakness in the plugin (NVD, Wordfence).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as a Missing Authorization (CWE-862) issue. It has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N. The technical root cause is the absence of proper capability checks in the 'add_video' function, which should validate user permissions before allowing modifications to portfolio galleries (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to add arbitrary videos to any portfolio gallery within the WordPress installation. This unauthorized modification capability could potentially be exploited to inject unwanted content into existing portfolio galleries (NVD).
