Authenticated notice dismissal via missing capability check
Published Apr 29, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Missing authorization in RedNao Smart Forms 2.6.91 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to dismiss administrative notices. The rednao_smart_forms_dont_show_again() handler updates notice-dismissal state without checking the caller's WordPress capabilities. Subscriber-level access is sufficient; the bounded consequence is suppression of plugin notices rather than data disclosure or service interruption.
