WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Jetpack < 12.7 - Improper Authorization via WPCom External Media REST endpoints

Description

The Jetpack plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the WPCom External Media REST permission_callback function in versions up to and including 12.6.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to import external media even without the upload_files capability.
