Unauthorized feedback submission via missing capability check
Published Nov 1, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Missing authorization in WP QUADS Quads Ads Manager for Google AdSense 2.0.84 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to submit feedback data. The quads_send_feedback() AJAX handler accepts the request without checking the caller's WordPress capability before it sends the supplied feedback. Subscriber-level access is sufficient; the documented consequence is unauthorized feedback submission, with no reported privilege change or code execution.
