Vulnerability Overview

The WP ULike plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the wp_ulike_logs_process function in versions before 3.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with low-level privileges to delete any row of certain tables. This can also be exploited via Cross-Site Request Forgery due to a lack of nonce validation.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.2, 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.
