Premium Support Requests Vulnerability in RSS Aggregator Plugin

CVE-2024-9583

Summary

The RSS Aggregator plugin for WordPress has a serious security flaw due to a lack of proper capability checks in its AJAX function, specifically on the 'wprss_ajax_send_premium_support'. This vulnerability allows authenticated users, with a minimum of Subscriber-level permissions, to send misleading premium support requests using their own chosen subject lines and email addresses. As a result, attackers can effectively impersonate legitimate site owners, which could lead to unauthorized access or disclosure of sensitive license information associated with the site. All versions of the plugin up to and including version 4.23.12 are affected by this vulnerability, highlighting the necessity for prompt updates and increased scrutiny of user permissions.
