AI-suggested

Administrators should review their Data Apps configurations to ensure that write transactions (update, delete, insert) are not enabled for Subscriber-level or anonymous users unless absolutely necessary. Restrict REST API authorization to authenticated users and avoid anonymous access with write permissions. Monitor vendor advisories for official patches or updates addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly once available.

Description

The WP Data Access – App Builder plugin for WordPress contains an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in all versions up to and including 5.5.89. This flaw allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to bypass write restrictions and modify arbitrary database rows and columns, including the administrator's password. Exploitation requires that an administrator has published a Data App enabling write transactions for Subscriber-level or anonymous users. Unauthenticated exploitation is possible only if the Data App is configured with anonymous REST API authorization and enabled write transactions. This vulnerability can lead to full site takeover by escalating privileges to administrator.
