Vulnerabilities
- High 8.1
CVE-2022-1779unauthenticated · needs a click≤ 1.3.0
Auto Delete Posts <= 1.3.0 - Arbitrary Settings Update via CSRF
The access label is read from the record's own text (e.g. “subscriber+”: subscriber and above). When the text names no role, CVSS decides between “login required” and “high privilege”; no role name is invented. “Needs a click”: the attack depends on a logged-in user following a link (CSRF, reflected XSS).
