Access violation vulnerability in WP Post Author – Enhance Your Posts with the Author Bio, Co-Authors, Guest Authors, and Post Rating System, including User Registration Form Builder 3.6.4

  • Severity: medium-risk
  • Status: Fixed
  • Publication: May 6, 2024

The WP Post Author plugin for WordPress has a security issue that allows unauthorized people to access it. This is because it does not have a check in place to make sure only certain users can use it. This means that anyone with access to the plugin, even at a basic level, can do things they shouldn’t be able to do.
