DescriptionCVE.org

wpForo Forum 2.4.14 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated subscribers to approve or unapprove any forum post via the wpforo_approve_ajax AJAX handler. Attackers exploit the nonce-only check by submitting a valid nonce with an arbitrary post ID to bypass moderation controls entirely.

AnalysisAI

Insufficient authorization controls in wpForo Forum 2.4.14 enable authenticated users to manipulate forum post moderation status through the wpforo_approve_ajax handler, allowing them to approve or reject posts outside their assigned permissions. The vulnerability relies on a weak nonce-only validation that fails to verify user role authorization before processing moderation actions. …
