See how frontend dashboard compares to other vendors in security performance
The Frontend Dashboard WordPress plugin before 3.0.5 does not perform any authorisation or nonce check on actions available to unauthenticated users that call an attacker-chosen PHP function or class method with the request data, allowing unauthenticated users to take over any account, including administrators.
The Frontend Dashboard WordPress plugin before 3.0.0 does not perform a capability check in one of its AJAX actions, allowing authenticated users with low privileges, such as subscribers, to delete the Frontend Dashboard WordPress plugin before 3.0.0's configured profile and post form fields.
The Frontend Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to a missing capability check on the ajaxrequest() function in versions 1.0 to 2.2.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to control where the plugin sends outgoing emails. By pointing SMTP to their own server, attackers could capture password reset emails intended for administrators, and elevate their privileges for full site takeover.
The Frontend Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to a missing capability check on the fedadminsettingformfunction() function in versions 1.0 to 2.2.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite the plugin’s 'register' role setting to make new user registrations default to the administrator role, leading to an elevation of privileges to that of an administrator.
The Frontend Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to a missing capability check on the fedwpajaxfedloginformpost() function in versions 1.0 to 2.2.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the administrator’s email and password, and elevate their privileges to that of an administrator.
