The Simply Schedule Appointments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.12.32 via the 'recursive' parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract customer PII — including names, email addresses, phone numbers, and custom form field data — stored in appointment records, as well as per-appointment public_token values. The leaked per-appointment public_token values also enable unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary appointments via the DELETE /wp-json/ssa/v1/appointments/{id} endpoint, which accepts the token as sole authorization.
The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary Shortcode Execution in all versions up to, and including, 10.8.1. The vulnerability exists because `WPRM_Metadata::sanitize_metadata()` recursively calls `do_shortcode()` on every scalar field of the recipe's structured metadata array — including the `reviewBody` field, which is populated verbatim from the `comment_content` of approved `wprm-comment-rating` comments — without sanitizing or stripping shortcode tokens before execution; the subsequent `wp_strip_all_tags()` and `strip_shortcodes()` calls operate only on the output string after execution has already fully occurred, providing no protection against server-side shortcode invocation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary registered WordPress shortcodes server-side on every recipe page render, causing shortcode output — such as attachment captions, private post fields, or other data exposed by installed shortcodes — to be embedded in the page's JSON-LD `reviewBody` metadata and disclosed to all visitors who load the recipe page. Successful exploitation requires the attacker's rated comment to pass the site's comment approval threshold, either via auto-approval or moderator action, before the injected shortcode begins executing on page loads.
The Paid Membership Plugin, Ecommerce, User Registration Form, Login Form, User Profile & Restrict Content – ProfilePress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 4.17.2 This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to execute arbitrary shortcodes.
The Checkout Field Manager (Checkout Manager) for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 7.9.7 does not properly validate the ownership of an attachment before deleting it, allowing any authenticated user such as a customer to delete arbitrary media attachments belonging to other users.
The Material Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data due to missing capability checks on the amd_ajax_target_task_manager() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.10. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enumerate all scheduled tasks (potentially exposing PII), execute arbitrary tasks, and delete any task via the public_amd_ajax_handler AJAX action.
The Easy Post Submission plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the `create_post()` function in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.0. This is due to the `rbsm_submit_post` AJAX action being registered for unauthenticated users via `wp_ajax_nopriv_rbsm_submit_post` without any authorization checks when a `postId` parameter is supplied. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the title, content, excerpt, categories, and tags of arbitrary posts, as well as change the post status to draft (effectively unpublishing them) via the 'postId' parameter.
The MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin – for Online Courses and Education plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.14. This is due to the `stm_lms_delete_cover()` function lacking ownership validation on the `file_id` parameter before passing it to `wp_delete_attachment()`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Instructor-level access and above, to delete arbitrary attachments belonging to any user by enumerating sequential attachment IDs.
The Klubraum Membership Request plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the `kr_mr_store_settings()` function in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's settings, including the Klubraum API token and introduction text, effectively hijacking the plugin's integration with the Klubraum service.
The Easy Upload Files During Checkout plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.1. This is due to missing authorization checks in the ufdc_custom_init() function, which processes the 'eufdc-delete' parameter without any nonce verification, capability check, or attachment ownership validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to permanently delete arbitrary media library attachments from the WordPress site.
The Employee, Leave and Recruitment Management System – Crew HRM plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.2. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete, archive, unarchive, and duplicate arbitrary job listings — along with their associated stages, meta, addresses, and applications — by supplying an arbitrary integer job_id. The nonce verified by Dispatcher::dispatch() is exposed to all authenticated front-end visitors via wp_head script localization, meaning subscribers can trivially obtain it and satisfy the nonce check without possessing any elevated privilege.
