Vulnerability Overview

The WP Fastest Cache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the wpfc_save_cdn_integration_ajax_request_callback() function in versions up to, and including, 0.8.5.7. This makes it possible for unauthorized attackers to redirect all CSS file, image, video, etc. requests to a potentially malicious site.

Technical Analysis
