Descriptions

The Categorify plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the categorifyAjaxUpdateFolderPosition in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.7.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update the folder position of categories as well as update the metadata of other taxonomies.

El complemento Categorify para WordPress es vulnerable a modificaciones no autorizadas de datos debido a una falta de verificación de capacidad en categorifyAjaxUpdateFolderPosition en todas las versiones hasta la 1.0.7.4 incluida. Esto hace posible que los atacantes autenticados, con acceso a nivel de suscriptor y superior, actualicen la posición de la carpeta de las categorías, así como los metadatos de otras taxonomías.
