CVE-2022-26254Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated group renaming via missing authorization

Published Mar 27, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Improper access control in WoWonder The Ultimate PHP Social Network Platform 4.0.0 allows remote attackers to rename arbitrary groups. The public record does not identify the request handler or explain which authorization check is absent when a supplied group identifier and replacement name are processed. No authentication is required, and a successful request changes persistent group metadata without granting reported read access or broader administrative control.
