Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
RapidLoad Power-Up for Autoptimize plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.7.1
Description
The issue is related to a missing capability check on the
ucss connect function, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access to update plugin settings without authorization. This specifically enables them to connect a new license key to the site.Recommendations
For versions up to, and including, 1.7.1, update to a version that includes a fix for the missing capability check on the
ucss connect function.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ucss connect function to prevent unauthorized updates until a patch is available. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
