Subscriber settings modification via missing capability checks
Published Oct 20, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Authorization bypass in Adenion GmbH Blog2Social 6.9.11 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to alter administrator-only settings. Several settings handlers rely on subscriber-level read capability or disabled HTML controls instead of server-side administrator capability checks. A subscriber can submit crafted dashboard or AJAX requests to change social metadata or lock another user’s automatic post import.
