Description
The Link Library WordPress plugin before 7.10.0 does not re-check the selected library's own login requirement when processing its front-end link submission, allowing unauthenticated users to submit links to a library configured to require login by reusing a form token obtained from another library that does not.

AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated user to submit a link to a library that requires login, effectively bypassing the authentication requirement. By reusing a form token from a different library that does not enforce login, the attacker can add content that should otherwise be protected, potentially compromising data integrity and user trust.

Affected Systems

All installations of the Link Library WordPress plugin earlier than version 7.10.0 are affected. The flaw applies to sites that have at least two libraries configured, one requiring authentication and another not requiring authentication. No additional version details are available.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is not provided, but the nature of the bug—a direct login requirement bypass—implies moderate to high severity. Exploitation is straightforward: an attacker must obtain a form token from a non‑restricted library and then submit a link to a protected library. With no EPSS figure, the likelihood of exploitation is uncertain, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting it may not yet be actively exploited but still represents a significant access control concern.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Link Library plugin to version 7.10.0 or later.
  • Disable link submission for users who are not logged in or restrict the action to authenticated users only.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, configure the site to invalidate or rotate form tokens regularly and restrict front‑end access to the submission form.
