The eDS Responsive Menu WordPress plugin up to version 1.2 suffers from missing authorization, allowing unauthenticated attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access controls.
Vulnerability
Overview The eDS Responsive Menu plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 1.2) contains a missing authorization vulnerability. This issue arises from incorrect configuration of access control security levels, enabling attackers to bypass intended restrictions [1].
Exploitation
Details Attackers can exploit this vulnerability without requiring authentication or any special privileges. The attack vector is network-based, meaning it can be triggered remotely. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous as it is used in mass-exploit campaigns targeting thousands of websites regardless of their size or popularity [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation allows an unprivileged user to execute actions that should require higher privileges, effectively leading to privilege escalation. The exact impact depends on the plugin's functionality, but it can result in unauthorized data access or modification [1].
Mitigation
Users are strongly advised to update the plugin to a patched version immediately. If updating is not possible, contacting the hosting provider or a web developer for alternative mitigation measures is recommended [1].
