Vulnerability Overview

The Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to missing capability checks on the qppr_save_quick_redirect_ajax and qppr_delete_quick_redirect functions in versions up to, and including, 5.1.9. This makes it possible for low-privileged attackers to interact with the plugin settings and to create a redirect link that would forward all traffic to an external malicious website.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 5.2.0, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.
