Subscriber-level settings changes via missing capability check
Published Mar 21, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Missing authorization in JoomUnited WP Media Folder 5.7.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to change plugin settings. The plugin omits a capability check in an undisclosed settings-update function, so subscriber-level accounts can submit changes reserved for higher-privileged users. The public advisories do not identify the affected function or enumerate which settings can be altered, limiting the established impact to unauthorized settings modification.
