Vulnerability Overview

The WPGetAPI plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the import_endpoints() function in versions 2.1.0 - 2.2.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update arbitrary options which can be leveraged for privilege escalation.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.2.2, 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.
