Detection Guidance

This vulnerability allows unprivileged users, such as those with a Subscriber role, to perform actions requiring higher privileges due to missing authorization checks in the WordPress TikTok Feed Plugin versions 1.0.24 and earlier.

Specific commands are not provided in the available resources, but general approaches include:

• Checking the installed plugin version via WP-CLI: `wp plugin list | grep tiktok-feed`
