Description

The WP Quick FrontEnd Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Setting Changs in versions up to, and including, 5.5. This is due to lacking both a security nonce and a capabilities check. This makes it possible for low-authenticated attackers to change plugin settings even when they do not have the capabilities to do so.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

Affected products and versions

  • labibahmed42 WP Quick FrontEnd Editor – WordPress Plugin — Up to and including 5.5
  • pluginmirror wp_quick_frontend_editor — Up to and including 5.5
