CVE-2022-1753Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthorized group posting via unchecked membership

Published May 17, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025

Incorrect authorization in WoWonder /requests.php allows remote authenticated users to post messages to groups they have not joined. The group-message handler accepts a manipulated group_id value without enforcing membership before it creates the message in the selected group. A valid account and network access are required; successful exploitation alters group content, while no confidentiality impact is reported.
