CWE ID Description
CWE-89 The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the URL Shortener Plugin for WordPress, where a missing capability check in the verifyRequest function allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to access API functionality they should not be able to. This means such users can modify links without proper authorization.
