Publicly Published September 1, 2023

Researcher Jonas Höbenreich

Description

The Surfer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data due to missing capability checks on several functions, such as remove_post_draft_connection, check_draft_status, get_locations, get_ajax_surfer_connect_url, disconnect_surfer_from_wp, and check_connection_status called via AJAX actions in versions up to, and including, 1.3.2.357. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to modify the connection details for the plugin and check the status details of posts.
