Subscriber-level import control via unchecked AJAX actions
Published Mar 20, 2026 · Updated Mar 20, 2026
Missing authorization in FireTree Design RockPress 1.0.17 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to reset import data via AJAX. Five admin AJAX handlers verify an exposed rockpress-nonce but omit current_user_can() checks before import, status, service-check, or reset operations. Subscriber access is sufficient to obtain the nonce from any admin page and delete import-tracking options, trigger resource-intensive imports, or read status.
