Unauthorized metadata changes via missing capability checks
Published Nov 22, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in DeluxeThemes UserPro 5.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to add, modify, or delete user metadata and plugin options. Multiple AJAX and POST actions invoke metadata and option mutations without capability checks, but the public analysis does not name the functions assigned to this CVE. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful requests can alter or remove account metadata and site-wide plugin settings.
