Description
The Permalinks Cascade plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 2.2. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action in the handleTPCAdminAjaxRequest function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to perform unauthorized administrative actions such as enabling or disabling automatic pinging settings and modifying page exclusion settings.

Executive Summary

The vulnerability in the Permalinks Cascade plugin for WordPress is a Missing Authorization issue. It occurs because the plugin does not properly verify if a user is authorized to perform certain actions in the handleTPCAdminAjaxRequest function. This allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to perform administrative actions they should not be able to, such as enabling or disabling automatic pinging settings and modifying page exclusion settings.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker with subscriber-level access or above to perform unauthorized administrative actions on the WordPress site. This could lead to changes in site behavior, such as altering automatic pinging settings or modifying which pages are excluded, potentially disrupting site functionality or affecting site operations without proper authorization.
