Name Directory: Missing authorization

No attacker login is required by the supplied CVSS vector. A caller can reach a protected operation without the intended permission check. The vector indicates limited disclosure of protected information. No victim interaction is required by the vector. The protected resource and exact unauthorized operation are undisclosed. The authoritative export does not identify the vulnerable endpoint, action, parameter or function, so the exact request-to-operation path is undisclosed. Affected versions: <= 1.34.2. The authoritative export identifies 1.34.3 as fixed for this CVE.

Weakness
CWE-862 — Missing Authorization

This CVE was published Oct 05, 2026 and is one of 12 known issues for this plugin.

Update, patch or deactivate.

Update Name Directory to 1.34.3 or a later supported release. An application-level fix should address the following: Enforce the intended capability and object-level permission server-side before accessing or changing a protected resource. A nonce alone is not an authorization check.

A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.

Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
