Missing Authorization vulnerability in eLightUp Falcon – WordPress Optimizations & Tweaks falcon allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Falcon – WordPress Optimizations & Tweaks: from n/a through 2.12.0.
The WebP Express WordPress plugin before 0.25.16 does not escape values that its bundled HTML parser re-emits into element attributes when a non-default image delivery mode is enabled, allowing unauthenticated users to submit content that is stored and later executed as Cross-Site Scripting in the browser of any user viewing an affected page, including administrators.
The MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin WordPress plugin before 3.7.55 does not verify that a user targeted through its student-enrolment feature has any relationship to the requesting instructor, allowing users with the Instructor role to overwrite the first name, last name and public display name of any registered user on the site, including administrators, enabling impersonation and phishing.
The Link Library WordPress plugin before 7.9.6 does not sanitise and escape a link field before outputting it inside an attribute of a link preview, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. The preview is generated without authentication and without checking whether the link has been published, so an unapproved submission is enough to reach any visitor who opens it.
WordPress Core is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Quick Edit in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.2 due to insufficient escaping of user display names. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a higher privileged user accesses the affected administrative screens. This issue only affects sites with a large number of users.
The Photo Engine (Media Organizer & Lightroom) WordPress plugin before 6.5.8 does not verify that a user is authorised to act on the targeted media attachment, allowing authenticated users with the author role and above to delete arbitrary media attachments, including those uploaded by other users and administrators.
The Photo Engine (Media Organizer & Lightroom) WordPress plugin before 6.5.8 does not sanitise and escape collection and gallery names before storing them and outputting them in an administrative dashboard, allowing authenticated users with the author role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
The Royal MCP WordPress plugin before 1.5.7 does not limit a preview-link token to the single preview it was issued for, so any party that obtains a valid token is authenticated as the token's owning user, an administrator in the default configuration, across the entire REST API with no nonce, leading to full site takeover.
The MB Custom Post Types & Custom Taxonomies WordPress plugin before 2.12.3 does not perform a capability check in its export feature, allowing users with a role as low as Contributor to read the configuration of admin-only custom post types and taxonomies, as well as the titles, dates, statuses and some stored content of other users' non-public posts and pages.
The MB Custom Post Types & Custom Taxonomies WordPress plugin before 2.12.3 does not perform any capability or authentication check before allowing an unauthenticated request to re-run a legacy data migration, letting anyone revert a custom post type or taxonomy definition on sites upgraded from a pre-2.0 release back to its pre-upgrade state. This discards configuration changes an administrator made after upgrading and, where those changes had restricted a definition's visibility, silently re-exposes the definition and its content to anonymous visitors.
The PixelYourSite WordPress plugin before 11.4.3, PixelYourSite Pro WordPress plugin before 12.6.8 do not sanitise and escape a cookie value before printing it into the page output, which, on a site running a full-page cache, allows unauthenticated attackers to store a Cross-Site Scripting payload in the cached page that is then served to other visitors.
The Infility Global WordPress plugin before 2.16.25 does not perform any authorisation or nonce check on an AJAX action available to unauthenticated users, allowing any visitor to overwrite a machine-translation configuration value belonging to a companion Infility Global WordPress plugin before 2.16.25.
The HIPAA Forms WordPress plugin before 3.3.2 does not perform a capability check when handling a request that rebuilds its own custom user role, allowing a user who already holds that role to grant it administrator-level capabilities and escalate their privileges.
The WP Ultimate Review WordPress plugin before 2.4.5 does not neutralise shortcodes in all of the review fields submitted through its public review form, which is available to unauthenticated visitors, allowing them to execute arbitrary shortcodes when the affected field is displayed, provided user reviews and that field's display are enabled.
