What the vulnerability does
The Material Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data due to missing capability checks on the amd_ajax_target_task_manager() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.10. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enumerate all scheduled tasks (potentially exposing PII), execute arbitrary tasks, and delete any task via the public_amd_ajax_handler AJAX action.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Material Dashboard versions up to 1.4.10 lack proper authorization checks, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive data, modify content, or disrupt service. The vulnerability requires only network access and no user interaction. Administrators should update to a version newer than 1.4.10 immediately.
What an attacker can do
Read sensitive data, modify content, or disrupt the dashboard without authentication.
Potential impact on your site
Unauthorized users can access, modify, or disrupt your Material Dashboard without logging in.
Conditions required to exploit
Network access only; no authentication or user interaction required.
