Authenticated unauthorized actions via missing capability checks
Published Oct 22, 2025 · Updated Oct 22, 2025
Missing authorization in Reviews Widgets by Repuso 5.29 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to perform unauthorized actions over the network. Several plugin functions omit a WordPress capability check, but published sources do not identify the functions or the unauthorized operations they expose. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and no user interaction is required; the resulting action remains undisclosed.
