Subscriber-level plugin installation via unchecked AJAX handler
Published Jul 28, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in Inisev WordPress plugins allows remote authenticated users to install select Inisev plugins via AJAX. The inisev_installation AJAX action calls handle_installation without checking the caller's plugin-installation capability, so a submitted request reaches the installer. Subscriber-level credentials are sufficient; the bounded impact is installation of select Inisev plugins rather than arbitrary plugin upload.
