CVE-2024-4566Network attack vector

Authenticated option modification via unchecked ajax_dismiss handler

Published May 21, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Missing authorization in ShopLentor 2.8.8 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to set arbitrary WordPress options to true. The ajax_dismiss handler accepts an attacker-selected option name and writes true through WordPress without verifying the caller's capability. Contributor access normally reaches the handler; subscriber or customer access also suffices when WooCommerce is disabled or dashboard access is enabled, and the effect depends on the selected option.
