Vulnerability Overview

The Cache Images plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the cache_images_ajax() function in versions up to, and including, 3.1. This makes it possible for authenticated low-level attackers to upload image files to a site without the upload_files capabilities.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.2.1, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
