Subscriber settings modification via omitted capability checks
Published May 7, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Missing authorization in Agency 5 Inc. Media Hygiene 4.0.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read data and update settings. Several request-handling functions, including fn_wmh_fetch_statistics_data(), omit WordPress capability checks before returning statistics or accepting setting changes. Subscriber-level access is sufficient; disclosed impact is limited to retrieving plugin data and modifying plugin settings.
