WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

AutoNetTV Relay < 3.0.14 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Scheduled Sync Cron

Description

The plugin does not perform any capability or authentication check before setting a WordPress administrator authentication cookie during its scheduled content-synchronization task. On server configurations where the scheduled task executes before the HTTP response is committed, an unauthenticated attacker who triggers the due task can receive the administrator's session cookie and gain administrator access without credentials.
