Subscriber access to privileged plugin actions
Published Dec 31, 2025 · Updated Dec 31, 2025
Missing authorization in Core Web Vitals & PageSpeed Booster 1.0.28 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to invoke privileged plugin actions. Patchstack identifies broken access control but does not disclose the affected handler or the authorization check omitted when processing requests. Subscriber access is required; the published assessment limits the consequence to low confidentiality and integrity impact without service interruption.
