What the vulnerability does
The NotificationX plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'regenerate' and 'reset' REST API endpoints in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.11. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to reset analytics for any NotificationX campaign, regardless of ownership.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
NotificationX versions up to 3.1.11 lack proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated users with low privileges to modify plugin settings and data. An attacker with a basic user account can change notification content, GDPR settings, or other configuration without permission. This affects the integrity of notifications and site compliance features but does not expose sensitive data or cause downtime.
What an attacker can do
Modify NotificationX settings and notification content with a low-privilege user account.
Potential impact on your site
Unauthorized users can alter FOMO notifications, sales popups, GDPR banners, and other plugin settings, potentially misleading visitors or breaking compliance.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker needs a valid WordPress user account with low privileges (e.g., subscriber or contributor role).
