CVE-2024-11848 Information

Description

The NitroPack plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the ’nitropack_dismiss_notice_forever’ AJAX action in all versions up to and including 1.17.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to update arbitrary options to a fixed value of ‘1’ which can activate certain options (e.g. enable user registration) or modify certain options in a way that leads to a denial of service condition.
