Authenticated content deletion via unchecked AJAX actions
Published Dec 18, 2025 · Updated Dec 18, 2025
Missing authorization in Super Blank 1.2.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary WordPress content. The affected AJAX action handlers delete caller-selected WordPress content without checking the caller's capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient to delete site content such as posts, pages, or media, causing availability loss.
