Subscriber-level CSS modification via unchecked AJAX endpoint
Published Dec 5, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in Dojo Digital Live CSS Preview 2.1.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to modify stored CSS. The wp_ajax_frontend_save handler accepts a submitted CSS value and updates the plugin setting without checking the caller’s capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient to overwrite CSS applied to the public site, allowing unauthorized changes to its appearance and rendered styling.
