Freemius SDK <= 2.2.3 - Missing Authorization to Arbitrary Options Update

8.8
Missing Authorization
CVSS 8.8 (High)
Publicly Published February 25, 2019
Last Updated January 22, 2024

Description

The Freemius SDK for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the _get_db_option and _set_db_option functions in versions up to, and including, 2.2.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to change site settings and potentially take over the site.

Wordfence blocked 20 attacks targeting this vulnerability in the past 24 hours.
