CVE-2022-36375Network attack vector

Administrator-level arbitrary option updates via unvalidated settings

Published Jul 25, 2022 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Authorization bypass in Biplob Adhikari Tabs 3.6.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to update arbitrary WordPress options. The post_oxi_settings() function accepts attacker-controlled settings without validating option keys before passing them into WordPress option updates. Administrative privileges are required, and exposure is limited to sites where administrators lack manage_options or lower roles can change the plugin's settings.
