WP ULike <= 4.8.3.1 - Insecure Direct Object Reference to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary Log Deletion via 'id' Parameter

Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
CVE CVE-2026-0909
CVSS Medium (5.3)
Publicly Published February 2, 2026
Last Updated February 3, 2026
Researcher Pouria Shahba (p0or1ya)
Description

The WP ULike plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.3.1. This is due to the `wp_ulike_delete_history_api` AJAX action not verifying that the log entry being deleted belongs to the current user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above (granted the 'stats' capability is assigned to their role), to delete arbitrary log entries belonging to other users via the 'id' parameter.
