Vulnerability Overview

The Ovic Responsive WPBakery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary option updates due to a missing capability check on the import_options() function hooked via AJAX n in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update arbitrary options that can be used for easily privilege escalation.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.2.9, 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.
