Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The RSS Aggregator – RSS Import, News Feeds, Feed to Post, and Autoblogging plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.23.12

Description The issue is related to a missing capability check on the wprss ajax send premium support function, allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to send premium support requests with controlled subject lines and email addresses, potentially impersonating the site owner. This could also lead to the leakage of license information.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 4.23.12, update to a version that includes a fix for the missing capability check on the wprss ajax send premium support function. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the wprss ajax send premium support function to prevent unauthorized use until a patch is available.
