CVE-2026-0909: CWE-639 Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in alimir WP ULike – Like & Dislike Buttons for Engagement and Feedback
The WP ULike plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.3.1. This is due to the `wp_ulike_delete_history_api` AJAX action not verifying that the log entry being deleted belongs to the current user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above (granted the 'stats' capability is assigned to their role), to delete arbitrary log entries belonging to other users via the 'id' parameter.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-0909 describes an authorization bypass vulnerability in the WP ULike plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 4.8.3.1. The issue arises because the AJAX action wp_ulike_delete_history_api does not verify ownership of the log entry before allowing deletion. As a result, authenticated users with Subscriber-level access and the 'stats' capability can delete arbitrary log entries of other users by specifying their IDs. This constitutes an Insecure Direct Object Reference (CWE-639) vulnerability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3, indicating medium severity. There is no information about an available patch or official vendor advisory.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level access and the 'stats' capability can delete log entries belonging to other users, potentially affecting data integrity and user activity records. There is no indication of confidentiality or availability impact beyond the deletion of log entries. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict the 'stats' capability to trusted roles only, or disable the plugin if feasible to prevent exploitation. Monitor for updates from the vendor regarding an official fix.
