Description
The WP Duplicate Page plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 1.7. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action in the 'saveSettings' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to modify plugin settings that control role capabilities, and subsequently exploit the misconfigured capabilities to duplicate and view password-protected posts containing sensitive information.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the WP Duplicate Page plugin for WordPress (up to version 1.7) due to missing authorization checks in the 'saveSettings' function. Authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher can modify plugin settings that control role capabilities without proper permission verification. This allows them to exploit misconfigured capabilities to duplicate and view password-protected posts containing sensitive information.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with Contributor-level access or above can change plugin settings to escalate their capabilities, enabling them to duplicate and access password-protected posts that may contain sensitive information. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of confidential data within a WordPress site.
