Descriptions

The Awesome Support WordPress plugin before 6.1.5 does not correctly authorize the wpas_edit_reply function, allowing users to edit posts for which they do not have permission.

El complemento Awesome Support de WordPress anterior a 6.1.5 no autoriza correctamente la función wpas_edit_reply, lo que permite a los usuarios editar publicaciones para las que no tienen permiso.

The Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk & Support Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the wpas_edit_reply function in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to modify arbitrary posts that they do not own.
