Authenticated content modification via missing role checks
Published Mar 1, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026
Missing authorization in the Sirv WordPress plugin through 7.2.0 allows remote authenticated users to add, upload, or edit Sirv content. Handlers for Sirv content actions processed requests without enforcing the role checks introduced in 7.2.1. A low-privilege WordPress account is required, and the documented consequence is unauthorized content access or modification rather than service interruption.
