WordPress Behance Portfolio Manager Broken Access Control Vulnerability

A missing authorization vulnerability has been identified in the WordPress Behance Portfolio Manager plugin, specifically in versions through 1.7.4. This vulnerability allows exploitation of improperly configured access control security levels, potentially enabling unprivileged users to perform actions reserved for higher privileges.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized users gaining access to functions or data that should be restricted, allowing them to perform actions with elevated privileges.

Remediation

Users are advised to remove and replace the Behance Portfolio Manager plugin, as it is likely abandoned and will not receive further updates or fixes. Deactivating the plugin does not eliminate the security risk unless a virtual patch is applied.
