Inisev Plugins (Various Versions) - Missing Authorization on handle_installation function

Wordfence Intelligence > Vulnerability Database > Inisev Plugins (Various Versions) - Missing Authorization on handle_installation function

4.3

Missing Authorization

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N

CVE	CVE-2023-0958
CVSS	4.3 (Medium)
Publicly Published	July 27, 2023
Last Updated	January 22, 2024
Researcher	Chloe Chamberland - Wordfence

Description

Several plugins for WordPress by Inisev are vulnerable to unauthorized installation of plugins due to a missing capability check on the handle_installation function that is called via the inisev_installation AJAX aciton in various versions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with minimal permissions, such as subscribers, to install select plugins from Inisev on vulnerable sites. CVE-2023-38514 appears to be a duplicate of this vulnerability.
