Subscriber data access and destruction via unchecked AJAX
Published Sep 9, 2026 · Updated Sep 9, 2026
Missing authorization in WPLP Cookie Consent before 4.4.2 allows remote authenticated users to alter settings and destroy scan data. Several settings AJAX actions process requests without nonce verification or capability checks, exposing administrator scan data and stored plugin configuration. Subscriber-level WordPress access is sufficient to read or delete administrator scan results and overwrite the site-wide consent configuration.
