AI-Generated

The BE REST Endpoints plugin for WordPress versions up to 1.0.0 is vulnerable due to a lack of authorization checks, enabling unauthenticated users to read, create, update, and delete widgets. This vulnerability allows for the injection of arbitrary web scripts, which can execute in the browsers of users visiting the affected site, potentially leading to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize immediate updates or mitigations to safeguard against potential exploitation.

Original NVD Description

The BE REST Endpoints WordPress plugin through 1.0.0 does not perform any authorization check before allowing widgets to be read, created, updated and deleted, and does not sanitize the values it stores in them, allowing unauthenticated users to inject arbitrary web scripts which will execute in the browser of any user visiting the site.
