Authenticated admin notice dismissal via missing capability check
Published Dec 9, 2024 · Updated Apr 29, 2026
Missing authorization in WP Custom Admin Interface 7.31 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to dismiss an administrator notice. The wpcai_pro_notice_disable function processes the notice-dismissal request without checking the caller's capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and the demonstrated consequence is limited to dismissing the plugin's Pro notice.
