CVE-2021-4380

CRITICAL 9.8EPSS 4.49%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The Pinterest Automatic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to missing capability checks on the 'wp_pinterest_automatic_parse_request' function and the 'process_form.php' script in versions up to, and including, 1.14.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update arbitrary options on a site that can be used to create new administrative user accounts or redirect unsuspecting site visitors.
