CVE-2022-3999Network attack vector

Subscriber option deletion via unprotected AJAX action

Published Dec 12, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025

Authorization bypass in DPD Baltic Shipping before 1.2.57 allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary WordPress options via an AJAX request. The delete_warehouse AJAX action lacks a capability authorization check and CSRF protection, accepting requests that name options for deletion. A logged-in account such as a subscriber is sufficient; deleting critical options can make the WordPress blog unavailable without granting direct data access.
