Vulnerability Overview

The TK Google Fonts GDPR Compliant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the tk_google_fonts_delete_font function in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.11. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to deelete arbitrary Google fonts. We believe CVE-2023-5823 may be misreported as a CSRF as there is no nonce check that was added in 2.2.12, but instead a capability check.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.2.12, 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.
