CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe AutoNetTV Relay WordPress plugin prior to version 3.0.14 is vulnerable due to a lack of capability and authentication checks when setting an administrator authentication cookie during scheduled tasks. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to exploit the timing of these tasks, potentially gaining unauthorized administrator access by capturing the session cookie. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize updating to the latest version to mitigate this critical security risk.
Original NVD Description
The AutoNetTV Relay WordPress plugin before 3.0.14 does not perform any capability or authentication check before setting a WordPress administrator authentication cookie during its scheduled content-synchronization task. On server configurations where the scheduled task executes before the HTTP response is committed, an unauthenticated attacker who triggers the due task can receive the administrator's session cookie and gain administrator access without credentials.
