Subscriber-level feed state changes via missing capability checks
Published Jul 16, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in RebelCode WP RSS Aggregator 4.23.11 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to activate or pause RSS feeds. The wprss_activate_feed_source and wprss_pause_feed_source functions change an existing feed's state without checking the caller's capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and the bounded consequence is unauthorized interruption or resumption of feed imports.
