Descriptions

The Countdown, Coming Soon, Maintenance – Countdown & Clock plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the conditionsRow and switchCountdown functions in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject PHP Objects and modify the status of countdowns.

El complemento Countdown, Coming Soon, Maintenance – Countdown & Clock para WordPress es vulnerable al acceso no autorizado debido a una falta de verificación de capacidad en las funciones conditionRow y switchCountdown en todas las versiones hasta la 2.7.8 incluida. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso a nivel de suscriptor y superior, inyecten objetos PHP y modifiquen el estado de las cuentas regresivas.
