Unauthenticated settings deletion via unchecked reset parameter
Published Mar 21, 2026 · Updated Mar 21, 2026
Missing authorization in AcumenConsulting Smarter Analytics 2.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete stored analytics settings. The reset branch in smarter-analytics.php accepts the reset request parameter in global scope and deletes plugin configuration and per-page or per-post settings without authentication or a capability check. No account or user interaction is required, and the reported consequence is limited to unauthorized modification and deletion of the plugin's stored configuration and analytics data.
