WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

GetGenie – AI Content Writer with Keyword Research & SEO Tracking Tools < 4.3.1 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Author+) Arbitrary Post Deletion

Description

The GetGenie plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.0. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to delete a specific post. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to delete any post on the WordPress site, including posts authored by other users.
