Description
Popup Builder WordPress plugin versions up to 4.4.5 suffer from an authorization bypass vulnerability. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to trash all published popups on a site via a single crafted GET request. The issue is worsened by a secondary flaw in the plugin's SGPopup::find() function, which causes all published popups to be targeted simultaneously when a specific parameter is present.
