Unauthenticated engagement spoofing via unchecked AJAX votes

Published Apr 10, 2025 · Updated May 12, 2026

Missing authorization in WP ULike 4.7.9.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to spoof engagement through unauthenticated AJAX votes. The wp_ulike_process action accepts likeThis requests for chosen content IDs at wp-admin/admin-ajax.php without a valid nonce or authenticated session. Unauthenticated network access is sufficient to create false likes on posts or comments, but no ability to alter the underlying content is established.
