Missing Authorization
CVE Not available
CVSS High (7.3)
Publicly Published August 9, 2022
Last Updated January 22, 2024
Description

The Floating Action Button plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.2 due to a missing capability check and nonce validation on the fz_fab_settings_save() function that is called via an AJAX action (including a nopriv action). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the plugin's settings.
