Subscriber-level chat administration via unchecked AJAX handler
Published Jan 2, 2025 · Updated Apr 29, 2026
Missing authorization in RumbleTalk Live Group Chat 6.2.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to modify chat data via AJAX. The handleRequest AJAX function accepts privileged account, token, and chat-management operations without checking the caller's WordPress capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient to retrieve or replace tokens and to create, update, refresh, or delete chats and accounts.
