Summary

The Qi Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the resize_image_callback() function in all versions up to and including 1.4.3. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to resize arbitrary media library images belonging to other users, potentially resulting in unintended file writes, disk consumption, and server resource abuse.

Risk Assessment

Attackers can modify other users' images, potentially leading to data corruption, resource exhaustion, and server performance degradation.

Recommendation

Update the Qi Blocks plugin to a patched version and restrict access to low-privileged accounts.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Qi Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the `resize_image_callback()` function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.3. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user has permission to resize a specific attachment. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to resize arbitrary media library images belonging to other users, which can result in unintended file writes, disk consumption, and server resource abuse through processing of large images.
