Contributor-level post publication via unchecked campaign activation
Published Oct 24, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in HurryTimer 2.10.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to publish arbitrary WordPress posts. The activateCampaign() function changes a campaign's post status without checking that the requester can publish the targeted post. Contributor-level access is sufficient to publish posts awaiting review or administrator-created drafts, altering site content without broader privileges.
