Unauthorized license changes via unguarded AJAX actions

Published Aug 27, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026

Missing authorization in Ditty 3.1.67 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to alter extension license state through AJAX actions. The extension license AJAX handlers perform license-management operations without requiring the manage_ditty_settings capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and the reported consequence is limited to unauthorized license-state changes without data disclosure or service interruption.
