CVE-2026-2504: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in dealia Dealia – Request a quote
The Dealia – Request a quote plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to missing capability checks on multiple AJAX handlers in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.7. The admin nonce (DEALIA_ADMIN_NONCE) is exposed to all users with edit_posts capability (Contributor+) via wp_localize_script() in PostsController.php, while the AJAX handlers in AdminSettingsController.php only verify the nonce without checking current_user_can('manage_options'). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to reset the plugin configuration.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-2504 describes a missing authorization vulnerability in the Dealia – Request a quote WordPress plugin (up to version 1.0.7). The plugin exposes an admin nonce (DEALIA_ADMIN_NONCE) to users with the edit_posts capability (Contributor role and above) via wp_localize_script(). The AJAX handlers responsible for administrative settings verify the nonce but do not check if the user has the 'manage_options' capability, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to reset plugin configurations without proper authorization. This flaw is categorized under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization).
Potential Impact
An authenticated user with Contributor-level access or higher can reset the plugin configuration without proper authorization. This could lead to unauthorized modification of plugin settings, potentially disrupting normal plugin operation or enabling further attacks depending on the configuration changes. There is no indication of confidentiality or availability impact beyond configuration modification.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — no official fix or patch links are provided. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. Until a patch is available, restrict Contributor-level access or higher to trusted users only to reduce risk. Avoid granting edit_posts capability to untrusted users. No official fix or temporary workaround is currently documented.
