Vulnerability Overview
The Enjoy Social Feed plugin for WordPress website plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data due to a missing capability check when accessing the enjoyinstagram_plugin_options page in all versions up to, and including, 6.2.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to reset the plugin's database.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user.
CWE-862: Missing Authorization
Reaching this weakness in Enjoy Social Feed plugin for WordPress website <= 6.2.2 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.
Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. No fixed build of this plugin is recorded for Enjoy Social Feed plugin for WordPress website yet, so installs running <= 6.2.2 stay exposed until the vendor ships one.
Remediation
No known patch available. Please review the vulnerability's details in depth and employ mitigations based on your organization's risk tolerance. It may be best to uninstall the affected software and find a replacement.
How does WordSec protect against this?
Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. No patched version is recorded yet, which is the case where a filtering layer matters most, because there is nothing to update to.
