CVE-2024-7624Network attack vector

Subscriber-level settings access via missing capability check

Published Aug 15, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Improper authorization in Zephyr Project Manager 3.3.101 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to gain full access to plugin settings. The update_user_access() AJAX handler enables a requested user's settings access without verifying that the caller has the required WordPress capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, exposing project configuration and data available through the plugin's settings interface.
