Smart Framework <= Multiple Plugins - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Settings Updates

Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVE CVE-2024-13420
CVSS Medium (4.3)
Publicly Published May 1, 2025
Last Updated May 2, 2025
Researcher Lucio Sá
Description

Multiple plugins and/or themes for WordPress are vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on several AJAX actions like 'gsf_reset_section_options', 'gsf_reset_section_options', 'gsf_create_preset_options' and more in various versions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to reset and modify some of the plugin/theme settings. This issue was escalated to Envato over two months from the date of this disclosure and the issues, while partially patched, are still vulnerable.
