Descriptions

The Social Warfare plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on several AJAX actions in versions up to, and including, 4.3.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to delete post meta information and reset network access tokens.

El complemento Social Warfare para WordPress es vulnerable a la omisión de autorización debido a una falta de verificación de capacidad en varias acciones AJAX en versiones hasta la 4.3.0 incluida. Esto hace posible que los atacantes autenticados, con permisos de nivel de suscriptor y superiores, eliminen la metainformación de la publicación y restablezcan los tokens de acceso a la red.
