Descriptions

Missing Authorization vulnerability in Vagary Digital HREFLANG Tags Lite.This issue affects HREFLANG Tags Lite: from n/a through 2.0.0.

Vulnerabilidad de autorización faltante en Vagary Digital HREFLANG Tags Lite. Este problema afecta a HREFLANG Tags Lite: desde n/a hasta 2.0.0.

The HREFLANG Tags Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the hreflang_delete_all_data function called via a nopriv AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 2.0.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the plugin's data.
