CVE-2024-12825

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Custom Related Posts plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.7.3

Description The issue allows unauthorized access and modification of data due to a missing capability check on three AJAX actions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to search posts and link/unlink relations.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.7.3, update to a version that includes a fix for the missing capability check on the three AJAX actions to prevent unauthorized access and modification of data. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the AJAX actions until a patch is available.
