Missing Authorization in Company Posts for LinkedIn WordPress Plugin Allows Data Deletion

Publication date: 2026-03-21

Last updated on: 2026-03-21

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Company Posts for LinkedIn plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. This is due to a missing capability check on the `linkedin_company_post_reset_handler()` function hooked to `admin_post_reset_linkedin_company_post`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete LinkedIn post data stored in the site's options table.

Executive Summary

The vulnerability exists in the Company Posts for LinkedIn plugin for WordPress, specifically in all versions up to and including 1.0.0. It is caused by a missing authorization check in the function linkedin_company_post_reset_handler(), which is triggered by the admin_post_reset_linkedin_company_post action. Because of this missing capability check, authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher can delete LinkedIn post data stored in the site's options table.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows authenticated users with relatively low privileges (Subscriber-level and above) to delete LinkedIn post data stored by the plugin in the WordPress site's options table. This could lead to loss of important LinkedIn post information managed through the plugin, potentially disrupting social media management and content continuity.
