Description
The Sync Post With Other Site WordPress plugin before 1.9.3 does not correctly enforce the page-editing capability on a REST route that creates and updates posts, because of an operator-precedence flaw in its authorization check. An authenticated user holding only the post-editing capability (such as a Contributor) can create, publish, and overwrite arbitrary Pages, including modifying content authored by higher-privileged users.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Sync Post With Other Site WordPress plugin before version 1.9.3 fails to enforce the required capability check on a REST route that creates and updates posts, owing to an operator‑precedence bug in its authorization logic. Because the check incorrectly grants permission, an authenticated user who possesses only the generic post‑editing capability—such as a Contributor role—can create new pages, publish them, and overwrite existing Pages, including those authored by higher‑privileged users. This results in a direct compromise of content integrity and confidentiality, providing the attacker with elevated control over site content.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects installations of the Sync Post With Other Site WordPress plugin with any version older than 1.9.3. No other products or vendor versions are listed in the CVE data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 classifies the issue as high, however the EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low probability of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not catalogued in the CISA KEV list. The likely attack vector is the REST API endpoint that the plugin exposes, which can be invoked by authenticated users with the post‑editing capability. Exploitation requires authentication but not additional privileges, making the risk moderate for sites that allow Contributor roles without stricter permission controls.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Sync Post With Other Site to version 1.9.3 or later to obtain the corrected authorization check.
  • If an update cannot be applied immediately, remove or downgrade the post‑editing capability from Contributor roles so that they cannot trigger the vulnerable endpoint.
  • Disable the plugin’s REST endpoint for contributors (for example, by using a security plugin or custom code that blocks access to the sync route for users without editor permissions).
  • Continuously monitor the site for unauthorized page changes and review audit logs for suspicious activity.
