DescriptionCVE.org

The Build App Online plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.23. This is due to the plugin registering the 'build-app-online-update-vendor-product' AJAX action via wp_ajax_nopriv_ without proper authentication checks, capability verification, or nonce validation in the update_vendor_product() function. The function accepts a user-supplied post ID from the request and calls wp_update_post() to modify the post_author field without validating whether the user has permission to modify the specified post. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the post_author of arbitrary posts to 0 (orphaning posts from their legitimate authors), or for authenticated attackers to claim ownership of any post by setting themselves as the author.

AnalysisAI

The Build App Online WordPress plugin contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the 'build-app-online-update-vendor-product' AJAX action that allows unauthenticated attackers to modify post metadata without authorization. Affected versions are up to and including 1.0.23 as confirmed via CPE (cpe:2.3:a:hakeemnala:build_app_online). Attackers can orphan posts by setting the post_author field to 0 or, if authenticated, claim ownership of arbitrary posts by reassigning authorship, resulting in unauthorized content modification with medium integrity impact (CVSS 5.3).

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability exists in the WordPress plugin architecture where the update_vendor_product() function in class-build-app-online-admin.php registers an AJAX action via wp_ajax_nopriv_ hook, which explicitly allows unauthenticated access to AJAX endpoints. The root cause is classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) due to absent capability verification and nonce validation. The vulnerable code path accepts a user-supplied post ID parameter and directly calls wp_update_post() without first verifying that the current user has permission to modify the target post's metadata. This represents a fundamental authorization control bypass in the WordPress security model, where AJAX actions should validate both user identity and capabilities before processing sensitive operations like post modifications.

RemediationAI

Upgrade the Build App Online plugin to a version newer than 1.0.23 immediately, as the vulnerability is present in all prior versions. Visit the WordPress plugin repository or the vendor's update mechanism to obtain the patched version. If an immediate patch is unavailable, implement the following compensating controls: disable the plugin entirely until a fix is available; use WordPress security plugins to implement additional AJAX request validation and nonce checking; restrict AJAX endpoint access via Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to authenticated users only; and regularly audit post authorship changes via WordPress logs to detect unauthorized modifications.
