Subscriber-level settings modification via unchecked admin handler
Published Dec 12, 2025 · Updated Dec 12, 2025
Missing authorization in Stian Andreassen Vimeo SimpleGallery 0.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to modify plugin settings. The vimeogallery_admin handler, registered through admin_menu, accepts the action parameter and changes settings without verifying the caller's capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient; the documented consequence is limited to arbitrary modification of this plugin's settings.
