Description
The Xpro Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized creation of data due to a missing capability check on the `get_menu_content_editor()` function in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to create arbitrary published posts of the `xpro_content` custom post type with attacker-controlled titles. The created posts are publicly queryable on the front-end, enabling content injection, SEO spam, and database pollution.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Xpro Addons plugin for WordPress contains a missing capability check in the get_menu_content_editor() function, allowing any authenticated user who holds at least a Subscriber role to create arbitrary posts of the xpro_content custom post type. The attacker can specify any title for these posts, and the created content is publicly queryable on the site. This flaw permits data integrity violations such as content injection, SEO spam, and database pollution but does not provide direct code execution or privilege elevation. The impact is limited to integrity and availability of the site’s published content rather than confidentiality.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress installation running Xpro Addons version 1.5.1 or earlier is affected. The plugin is known as Xpro Addons — 140+ Widgets for Elementor and is maintained by xpro. No specific WordPress core version interactions are noted, and all earlier releases up to 1.5.1 share the same flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 reflects a moderate severity, largely due to the limited scope of the fault and the requirement of an authenticated account. EPSS is unavailable, but the flaw is trivial to exploit once the user is authenticated: the attacker merely needs to invoke the AJAX endpoint that calls get_menu_content_editor(). The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so there are currently no known widespread active exploits, but the simple attack path means that any subscriber accounts pose a risk. Administrators should consider the base risk of allowing Subscriber role users to reach the affected endpoint, as the capability check is completely missing.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Xpro Addons to a version later than 1.5.1 where authentication checks are enforced in get_menu_content_editor().
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable or remove the Xpro Addons plugin and the xpro_content custom post type to prevent unauthorized creation of posts.
  • Audit all other plugins and custom code for missing capability checks and apply or write authorization safeguards according to CWE‑862 best practices.
