Subscriber-level settings modification via unchecked capability
Published Mar 21, 2026 · Updated Mar 21, 2026
Improper authorization in UiPress Lite 3.5.09 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to change arbitrary plugin settings. The uip_save_global_settings AJAX handler writes global settings without checking the caller's WordPress capabilities. Subscriber access is sufficient; the documented consequence is limited to unauthorized plugin-configuration changes.
