CVE-2026-65551 – Missing Authorization (Broken Access Control) – Breakdance WordPress Plugin before

Be the first to know when new zero-days emerge:

Summary

CVE-2026-65551 is a Missing Authorization (broken access control) vulnerability in the Soflyy Breakdance WordPress plugin. Insufficient authorization checks allow an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to reach protected functionality and access sensitive information. It affects all versions before 2.7 and is rated High severity (CVSS 7.5).

Technical details

  • Root cause: The plugin does not properly verify user permissions before granting access to certain functionality (CWE-862: Missing Authorization).
  • Trigger conditions: An attacker sends requests to the affected functionality without holding the required authorization.
  • Attack vector: Network (AV:N); no privileges (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N) are required.
  • Impact: High confidentiality impact — unauthorized access to sensitive information. Integrity and availability are not affected.

Affected software

  • Soflyy Breakdance — all versions before 2.7.

Severity

  • CVSS v3.1 base score: 7.5 (High)
  • Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: Update the Breakdance plugin to version 2.7 or later.
  • If no patch can be applied: Restrict network access to the WordPress site and its administrative/plugin endpoints (for example via a WAF or IP allowlisting) until the plugin can be upgraded.

How IONIX identifies potentially affected assets

IONIX matches the following signals against data already collected when it crawled the asset; identifying the technology sends no request beyond that crawl.

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
