To scan WordPress plugins for broken access control vulnerabilities, this Skill detects IDOR, missing capability checks, and mass assignment attack vectors. It cross-references live CVE data and OWASP references to deliver detailed findings with severity ratings.

Broken access control in WordPress occurs when plugins fail to properly enforce user permissions, allowing unauthorized actions. Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) is a common pattern where attackers manipulate object IDs to access data they should not, which this Skill actively probes and audits.

Yes, the broken access control audit works with current CVEs and OWASP attack trends by utilizing parallel fetching to retrieve live security data. This ensures your WordPress plugin vulnerability assessment stays up-to-date with the latest known threats and reference standards.

Yes, you can run active probes to test for missing capability checks in real-time. The Skill optionally executes these active probes against your WordPress environment to validate the presence of broken access control vulnerabilities during the security audit.

The best way to find mass assignment vulnerabilities in a custom WordPress plugin is through a specialized security audit. This Skill focuses on uncovering mass assignment and other broken access control flaws by analyzing code against live attack statistics and providing severity-rated reports.

Automated vulnerability assessment for WordPress plugins focuses specifically on broken access control patterns like IDOR and missing capability checks. While it retrieves live CVE data and optionally runs active probes, it should be part of a broader security audit rather than a standalone validation method.
