Description
The RSS Aggregator by Feedzy WordPress plugin before 5.2.6 does not verify that the requesting user owns or is allowed to edit the import job named in the request, allowing users with author-level access and above to permanently delete the posts created by another user's import job, reset its deduplication and scheduling state, disable it, or clear its error log. One of the affected actions performs no object-type check either, so arbitrary posts and pages can also be unpublished regardless of who owns them.

AI Analysis

Impact

The RSS Aggregator by Feedzy plugin fails to verify that a requester owns or is allowed to edit an import job named in the request. As a result, users with author-level access and above can permanently delete posts created by another user's import job, reset its deduplication and scheduling state, disable the job, or clear its error log. One affected action performs no object‑type check, enabling the unpublished of arbitrary posts and pages regardless of who owns them. This flaw allows an attacker to alter or destroy other users’ content and disrupt scheduled imports, causing loss of data integrity and availability.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the WordPress plugin RSS Aggregator by Feedzy on all releases older than 5.2.6. Any WordPress installation using the plugin version 5.2.5 or earlier is susceptible. No other vendor or product is listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw can be exploited by sending requests to the plugin’s endpoints that require author or higher privileges, a level of access that many WordPress sites grant to editors and authors. The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score of <1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation on a broad scale, yet the lack of ownership checks enables non‑trivial exploitation on sites with multiple authors. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The impact gives an attacker the ability to modify or delete content and pause or reset import jobs, potentially causing significant disruption.
