Vulnerability Overview

The WPS Cleaner plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.4.4. This is due to missing capability and nonce checks on 7 different functions found in the '/classes/plugin.php' file. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with minimal permissions, such as a subscriber, to perform a variety of actions such as deleting arbitrary files, creating zip archives, deleting zip archives, and deleting alerts among some additional actions.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.4.5, 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.
