Vulnerability Overview

The Orbit Fox by ThemeIsle plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to missing capability checks on several REST API endpoints in versions up to, and including, 2.6.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform unauthorized actions such as uploading arbitrary files that can be used for remote code execution.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.6.4, 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.
