DescriptionCVE.org

The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the mla_update_compat_fields_action() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.33. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify taxonomy terms on arbitrary attachments.

AnalysisAI

The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress through version 3.33 fails to validate user permissions in the mla_update_compat_fields_action() function, allowing authenticated subscribers and higher-privileged users to modify taxonomy terms on any attachment. This authorization bypass enables attackers to alter attachment metadata without proper capability restrictions. A patch is not currently available.
