Vulnerability Overview

The Protected Posts Logout Button plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized deletion of data due to a missing capability check on the pplb_options_save function in versions up to, and including, 1.4.5. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's settings. A nonce check was added in version 1.4.5, which does not address this issue properly. 1.4.6 adds a capability check.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.4.6, 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.
