GetGenie Plugin IDOR Flaws

Medium severity vulnerability in WordPress plugin. The GetGenie plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.2 due to missing validation on a user controlled key in the `action` function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to update post metadata for arbitrary posts. Combined with a lack of input sanitization, this leads to S...

The GetGenie plugin for WordPress contains an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in its REST API endpoint that allows authenticated attackers with Author-level privileges to arbitrarily modify or overwrite posts owned by any user, including administrators. The vulnerability exists in versions up to and including 4.3.2 due to missing validation on user-controlled post IDs before calling wp_update_post(), enabling attackers to change post types and reassign authorship. While not currently listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, the low attack complexity (network-based, low privilege requirement) and demonstrated proof-of-concept availability make this a moderate-priority issue for WordPress administrators managing multi-author sites.
