Unauthenticated post reordering via unchecked REST callback
Published Feb 12, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in WP Extended 3.0.13 and earlier allows remote attackers to reorder WordPress posts without authentication. The reorder_route() function applies attacker-supplied ordering changes without checking a WordPress capability before modifying stored post order. The Post Type Order module must be enabled and reachable, and exploitation changes content ordering without reading or deleting posts.
