The Manual Image Crop WordPress plugin before 1.15 does not perform any capability check or nonce verification on the authenticated AJAX action that crops attachment images; its only guard passes for any logged-in user. A subscriber-level user can therefore supply an arbitrary attachment ID and overwrite that attachment's generated intermediate-size image (for example its thumbnail) and mutate its stored metadata, regardless of who owns the media. This is a cross-user integrity/defacement issue over the Media Library. The action also has no nonce, so it is additionally susceptible to CSRF.
AnalysisAI
Manual Image Crop WordPress plugin before version 1.15 exposes an authenticated AJAX crop action with neither capability check nor nonce verification, permitting any subscriber-level user to overwrite another user's media attachment thumbnails and corrupt stored image metadata across the entire Media Library. The flaw is simultaneously a broken authorization control and a CSRF vector - two distinct exploitation paths in one action. …
