Subscriber-level category deletion via missing capability check
Published Feb 27, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in Frenify Categorify 1.0.7.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to delete media categories. The categorifyAjaxDeleteCategory function accepts an AJAX deletion request without checking whether the caller has category-management capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and exploitation deletes category records without granting broader site control.
