Rockpress
Monthly
The RockPress WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.0.17) contains a Missing Authorization vulnerability in five AJAX actions that allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level privileges to trigger privileged operations intended for administrators. The vulnerability stems from a combination of missing capability checks (current_user_can() calls) in AJAX handlers and exposure of an admin nonce to all authenticated users via an unconditionally enqueued script. Attackers can extract the nonce from the HTML source and use it to trigger resource-intensive imports, reset import data, check service connectivity, and read import status information without administrative privileges.
