CVE-2023-0718 Information

Description

The Wicked Folders plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the ajax_save_folder function in versions up to and including 2.18.16. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions and above to invoke this function and perform actions intended for administrators such as modifying the folder structure maintained by the plugin.
