Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Categorify plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.7.4

Description The Categorify plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the categorifyAjaxRenameCategory function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to rename categories.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.0.7.4, update to a version that includes a fix for the missing capability check on the categorifyAjaxRenameCategory function. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the categorifyAjaxRenameCategory function to prevent unauthorized category renaming.
