FKIE_CVE-2025-12071

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-18 05:16 - Updated: 2026-06-17 08:31
Severity
4.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Summary
The Frontend User Notes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.0 via the 'funp_ajax_modify_notes' AJAX endpoint due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify arbitrary notes that do not belong to them.
