Descriptions

The WP Mail Log WordPress plugin before 1.1.3 does not correctly authorize its REST API endpoints, allowing users with the Contributor role to view and delete data that should only be accessible to Admin users.

El complemento WP Mail Log WordPress anterior a 1.1.3 no autoriza correctamente sus endpoint de API REST, lo que permite a los usuarios con el rol de Colaborador ver y eliminar datos a los que solo deberían tener acceso los usuarios administradores.

The WP Mail Log plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to an insufficient capability check on the check_permission() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to access REST routes that they should not have access to and delete data.
