Details

The Wicked Folders – Folder Organizer for Pages, Posts, and Custom Post Types plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.0 via the delete_folders() function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to delete arbitrary folders created by other users.

Severity ?

4.3 (Medium)
