CVE-2025-14080
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The Frontend Post Submission Manager Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.5. This is due to missing authorization checks on the post update functionality in the fpsml_form_process AJAX action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify arbitrary posts by providing a post_id parameter via the guest posting form, allowing them to change post titles, content, excerpts, and remove post authors.

"value": "El plugin Frontend Post Submission Manager Lite para WordPress es vulnerable a falta de autorización en todas las versiones hasta la versión 1.2.5 incluida. Esto se debe a la ausencia de comprobaciones de autorización en la funcionalidad de actualización de publicaciones en la acción AJAX?fpsml_form_process. Esto permite que atacantes no autenticados modifiquen publicaciones arbitrarias proporcionando un parámetro?post_id a través del formulario de publicación de invitados, lo que les permite cambiar los títulos de las publicaciones, el contenido, los extractos y eliminar a los autores de las publicaciones."
