WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Logo Slider and Showcase < 1.3.37 - Editor Plugin's Settings Update
Description
The plugin allows Editor users to update the plugin's settings via the rtWLSSettings AJAX action because it uses a nonce for authorisation instead of a capability check.
Proof of Concept
- As Editor, go to Logo Showcase -> Shortcode Generator
- Run jQuery.post(ajaxurl,{rt_wls_nonce:wls.nonce,action:"rtWLSSettings",image_resize:1,image_width:200,image_height:130})
- As admin, notice that the plugin’s settings have been updated
