BeastThemes Clockinator Lite Missing Authorization Vulnerability Allowing Broken Access Control

A missing authorization vulnerability has been identified in the BeastThemes Clockinator Lite plugin, specifically in versions through 1.0.7. This vulnerability allows exploitation of improperly configured access control security levels, potentially leading to unauthorized actions by users with lower privileges.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an unprivileged user to perform actions reserved for higher privileged users, due to the lack of proper authorization checks.

Remediation

Users are advised to remove and replace the Clockinator Lite 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.
