What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Droip plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and access of data due to a missing capability check on the droip_post_apis() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to perform many actions as the AJAX hooks to several functions. Some potential impacts include arbitrary post deletion, arbitrary post creation, post duplication, settings update, user manipulation, and much more.

Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

02Summary

An attacker with a low-privilege account can read, modify, or delete data and functionality across the application. This affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.
