Technical details

The vulnerability is a missing capability check in the wpeddpcf_delete_feed function, allowing authenticated but unprivileged users (subscriber-level and above) to delete arbitrary WordPress option values via an unprotected AJAX or POST handler. The root cause is insufficient authorization validation before performing the deletion action. An attacker with a subscriber account can call this function directly to remove options, such as those controlling feed configuration or critical site settings, triggering denial of service. Attack vector is network-based and requires only an authenticated session; no special privileges or admin credentials are needed. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.0.2.
