Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThis is a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the 'Push notification for Mobile and Web app' WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.0.3). The plugin fails to properly enforce authorization checks on certain actions, allowing authenticated users (with subscriber-level access or higher) to perform operations that should require higher privileges or admin authentication. This represents an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) or broken access control issue where the application trusts user input without verifying permissions.
