-
Identify the vulnerable endpoint exposureCheck if your web server responds to requests at the endpoint handling the njt-tk-download-video parameter. This is typically a form or AJAX handler that processes TikTok video URL submissions. Test by sending a request with a sample parameter value to common paths like /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=njt-tk-download-video or the plugin's direct PHP handlerAffected if The server accepts and processes requests to the njt-tk-download-video parameter without authentication or proper validation
