The NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to missing capability checks on multiple user privilege/security functions provided in versions up to, and including 4.3.17. This makes it possible for low-privileged attackers, like subscribers, to perform restricted actions that would be otherwise locked to a administrative-level user.

Summary
  • (es) El complemento NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster para WordPress es vulnerable a la omisión de la autorización debido a la falta de comprobaciones de capacidad en múltiples funciones de seguridad y privilegios de usuario proporcionadas en versiones hasta la 4.3.17 incluida. Esto permite que atacantes con pocos privilegios, como los suscriptores, realicen acciones restringidas que de otro modo estarían bloqueadas a un usuario de nivel administrativo.
