DescriptionCVE.org

The rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress WordPress plugin before 4.7.12 does not check ownership before changing the privacy level of an activity and its attached media, relying only on a nonce shared with every logged-in user, allowing users with a subscriber-level account or above to make another user's private activity public or hide it.

The plugin's privacy-change endpoint validates only a WordPress nonce that is shared across all logged-in users, performing no ownership verification against the requesting account. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid WordPress account with at minimum subscriber role on the target site - anonymous unauthenticated access is insufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The official CVSS 3.1 score of 4.2 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N) is broadly reasonable but may understate practical exploitability - AC:H implies significant attack complexity, yet IDOR attacks against sequential WordPress activity IDs are trivially enumerable, suggesting AC:L is more accurate in practice. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Update rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress to version 4.7.12 or later, which introduces ownership verification on the privacy-change endpoint. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
