The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps WordPress plugin before 3.29.7 does not perform capability checks on its taxonomy term creation, modification, and deletion operations, allowing authenticated users with low privileges (such as Subscribers) to create, rename, and delete arbitrary taxonomy terms.
AnalysisAI
Missing authorization in Frontend Admin by DynamiApps WordPress plugin (versions before 3.29.7) exposes taxonomy term creation, modification, and deletion operations to any authenticated user, including Subscribers - the lowest WordPress role. Rooted in CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), the plugin's taxonomy management handlers execute without invoking WordPress capability checks, granting low-privilege accounts editor-level control over site taxonomy. A public POC is available via WPScan; however, EPSS sits at 0.14% (4th percentile) and no CISA KEV listing exists, suggesting limited real-world exploitation activity despite the accessible POC.
Technical ContextAI
Frontend Admin by DynamiApps is a WordPress plugin designed to expose content management operations - including taxonomy term CRUD - on the public-facing front end of WordPress sites. WordPress enforces role-based access via capability checks (typically current_user_can() calls) before permitting privileged operations such as creating or deleting taxonomy terms (e.g., categories, tags, custom taxonomies). CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) identifies the root cause: the plugin's AJAX or REST handlers that manage taxonomy terms omit these capability checks entirely, meaning the WordPress role system is effectively bypassed. The Subscriber role, by design, has no content management capabilities; exploiting this flaw gives Subscribers the same taxonomy control as an Editor or Administrator. The CPE (cpe:2.3:a:unknown:frontend_admin_by_dynamiapps:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) covers all versions below 3.29.7.
RemediationAI
Update the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps WordPress plugin to version 3.29.7 or later immediately, as this release introduces proper capability checks on taxonomy term operations (vendor-released patch confirmed). The update can be applied via the WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins > Installed Plugins, or via WP-CLI with wp plugin update frontend-admin. As a compensating control pending the update, disabling open user registration (Settings > General, uncheck 'Anyone can register') eliminates the Subscriber-level attack surface, though this will prevent new account creation and may disrupt community or membership site functionality. Restricting AJAX endpoints is not a reliable mitigation without risk of breaking other plugin functionality. The WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/63c90b08-fcff-4bd0-8953-b5cc5c796dbe/ should be reviewed for any additional vendor guidance.
