Unauthenticated AWS configuration deletion via unchecked request
Published Apr 29, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Missing authorization in ProFaceOff SSU 1.5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete stored AWS connection options. The delete_aws_options() function accepts an unauthenticated request without checking a WordPress capability before deleting the plugin's AWS settings. Exploitation removes configuration data and disrupts the storage integration; no data disclosure or code execution is established.
