Unauthenticated settings modification via missing capability check
Published Aug 17, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in Binh Nguyen Plus LadiApp 4.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter WordPress settings via crafted requests. The init_endpoint() function runs on the WordPress init hook without a capability check and accepts attacker-controlled settings, including ladipage_key. No account or user interaction is required; changing that key enables creation of posts containing malicious web scripts.
