Missing Authorization vulnerability in quadlayers QuadLayers TikTok Feed wp-tiktok-feed allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects QuadLayers TikTok Feed: from n/a through <= 4.6.5.
Analysis
Missing authorization in QuadLayers TikTok Feed WordPress plugin versions through 4.6.5 allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass access control restrictions and exploit incorrectly configured security levels. The vulnerability stems from improper validation of user permissions, enabling unauthorized access to protected functionality or data. While EPSS scoring indicates low exploitation probability (0.04th percentile), the authentication bypass classification suggests potential for privilege escalation or unauthorized administrative actions if discovered by an attacker.
Technical Context
QuadLayers TikTok Feed (wp-tiktok-feed) is a WordPress plugin that integrates TikTok content feeds into WordPress sites. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a common WordPress plugin flaw where function calls lack proper capability checks or nonce verification. Specifically, the plugin fails to implement adequate access control validation when processing requests, allowing users without proper permissions to access administrative or restricted functionalities. This typically manifests as missing capability checks in AJAX handlers, REST API endpoints, or admin pages that should require authenticated user roles with specific capabilities.
