CVE-2024-13776: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in ZoomIt ZoomSounds - WordPress Wave Audio Player with Playlist
The ZoomSounds - WordPress Wave Audio Player with Playlist plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to a denial of service due to a missing capability check on the 'dzsap_delete_notice' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 6.91. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update option values to 'seen' on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update an option that would create an error on the site and deny service to legitimate users or be used to set some values to true such as registration. There are several other functions also vulnerable to missing authorization.

This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 6.91 and has a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1, indicating high impact on integrity and availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level access can exploit this vulnerability to modify plugin option values, leading to denial of service conditions by causing site errors or unwanted changes such as forced registration flags. This compromises the availability and integrity of the affected WordPress site. There is no indication of confidentiality impact. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
