CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Gutenberg Blocks with AI by Kadence WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable due to a misconfigured capability check, allowing authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to publish posts directly, bypassing the standard review process. This could lead to unauthorized content being published on affected sites, potentially damaging the site's integrity and reputation. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of unauthorized content publication.
Original NVD Description
The Gutenberg Blocks with AI by Kadence WP – Page Builder Features plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized post publication in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.32 due to a misconfigured capability check on the 'get_items_permission_check' function permission callback of the 'process_pattern' REST API endpoint. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to create and immediately publish posts of any type (including pages), bypassing the standard WordPress review workflow where contributors must submit posts for administrator approval.
