WordPress · Image Alt Text · CVE-2024-11918
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Image Alt Text plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.0.0
**Description**
The issue allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to update the alt text on arbitrary images due to a missing capability check on the `iat add alt txt action` and `iat update alt txt action` AJAX actions.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to and including 2.0.0, update to a version higher than 2.0.0 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `iat add alt txt action` and `iat update alt txt action` AJAX actions until a patch is available.
