Researcher Dmitrii Ignatyev
Description

The Fatal Error Notify plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the test_error AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to send test error emails to the administrator email address without restriction. CVE-2024-32455 is likely a duplicate of this issue.
