CVE-2024-7727Network attack vector

Unauthenticated data manipulation via unchecked AJAX dispatch

Published Sep 11, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Missing authorization in bPlugins HTML5 Video Player 2.5.32 and earlier allows remote attackers to manipulate plugin data via AJAX requests. The h5vp_ajax_handler action dispatches unauthenticated requests to multiple data-handling functions without verifying a WordPress capability. No account is required, and successful requests can alter stored plugin data; the published record reports no confidentiality or availability impact.
