Vulnerability Overview

The The Total Book Project plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 via several functions due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to perform several actions like moving/deleting/creating chapters in books that do not belong to them.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.1, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
