Description

The Photo Engine WordPress plugin versions up to 6.5.8 lack proper authorization checks on a REST API route used to update post data. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with Author-level access or higher to modify titles, content, excerpts, and other fields of arbitrary posts, pages, and attachments, including those owned by other users. The issue is fixed in version 6.6.0.
