The delete_term() function, which handles the 'tpmcattt_delete_term' AJAX action, does not perform any capability check (e.g., current_user_can()) to verify the user has sufficient permissions. While it does verify a nonce via check_ajax_referer(), this nonce is generated for all authenticated users via the admin_enqueue_scripts hook and exposed on any wp-admin page (including profile.php, which subscribers can access). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to permanently delete taxonomy term records from the plugin's trash/backup tables by sending a crafted AJAX request with a valid nonce and an arbitrary term_id."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N", "baseScore": 4.3, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "userInteraction": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "NONE"}, "exploitabilityScore": 2.8, "impactScore": 1.4}]}, "weaknesses": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-862"}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tp-restore-categories-and-taxonomies/tags/1.0.1/admin/class-tp-move-categories-and-taxonomies-to-trash-admin.php#L474", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tp-restore-categories-and-taxonomies/tags/1.0.1/includes/class-tp-move-categories-and-taxonomies-to-trash.php#L169", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tp-restore-categories-and-taxonomies/trunk/admin/class-tp-move-categories-and-taxonomies-to-trash-admin.php#L474", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tp-restore-categories-and-taxonomies/trunk/includes/class-tp-move-categories-and-taxonomies-to-trash.php#L169", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/53a0749f-86e9-4f62-9de2-a6759c78ba2f?source=cve", "source": "[email protected]"}]}}
