This missing authorization can lead to unauthorized disclosure of timeline entries or unintended manipulation of content, an issue categorized under CWE-862.

Affected Systems

The issue affects the themesawesome History Timeline plugin (Timeline Awesome) version 1.0.6 and all earlier releases that are commonly used across WordPress installations.

Risk and Exploitability
