Vulnerability Overview

The Popup Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the save_popup_enabled_state function in versions up to, and including, 1.17.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level access, and above, to enable and disable popups even when they do not have the right to edit those popups.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.18.0, 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.
