AI-suggested
Users should upgrade the Rover IDX plugin to version 3.0.0.2906 or later, where the vulnerability is fully patched. Version 3.0.0.2905 includes a partial fix but does not completely resolve the issue. No other mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory. Patch status is confirmed by the versioning information in the description.
Description
The Rover IDX plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in versions up to, and including, 3.0.0.2905. This is due to insufficient validation and capability check on the 'rover_idx_refresh_social_callback' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to log in to administrator. The vulnerability is partially patched in version 3.0.0.2905 and fully patched in version 3.0.0.2906.
