Summary

The Permalinks Cascade plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 2.2 is vulnerable to Missing Authorization. The handleTPCAdminAjaxRequest function does not properly verify that a user is authorized to perform an action, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to perform unauthorized administrative actions such as enabling or disabling automatic pinging settings and modifying page exclusion settings.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated low-privileged user can alter critical plugin settings, potentially disrupting site behavior and compromising configuration integrity.

Recommendation

Update the Permalinks Cascade plugin to a version later than 2.2 that fixes the vulnerability. Until then, restrict access to the admin panel and review user permissions.

The Permalinks Cascade plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 2.2. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action in the handleTPCAdminAjaxRequest function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to perform unauthorized administrative actions such as enabling or disabling automatic pinging settings and modifying page exclusion settings.
