Descriptions

Broken Authentication vulnerability in yotuwp Video Gallery plugin <= 1.3.4.5 at WordPress.

Una vulnerabilidad de Autenticación Rota en el plugin yotuwp Video Gallery versiones anteriores a 1.3.4.5 incluyéndola, en WordPress.

The Video Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the deletecache function in versions up to, and including, 1.3.8. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to clear the plugin's cache. The plugin added an "is_admin" check in version 1.3.5 but this would not be sufficient access control to prevent even unauthenticated attackers from exploiting the vulnerability.
