CVE-2026-3477 Details
Description
The PZ Frontend Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to and including 1.0.6. The pzfm_user_request_action_callback() function, registered via the wp_ajax_pzfm_user_request_action action hook, lacks both capability checks and nonce verification. This function handles user activation, deactivation, and deletion operations. When the 'dataType' parameter is set to 'delete', the function calls wp_delete_user() on all provided user IDs without verifying that the current user has the appropriate permissions. Notably, the similar pzfm_remove_item_callback() function does check pzfm_can_delete_user() before performing deletions, indicating this was an oversight. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary WordPress users (including administrators) by sending a crafted request to the AJAX endpoint.
A vulnerability exists in the PZ Frontend Manager plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.0.6. The issue stems from missing authorization in the 'pzfm_user_request_action_callback' function, which is linked to the 'wp_ajax_pzfm_user_request_action' hook. This function manages user activation, deactivation, and deletion but fails to implement necessary capability checks and nonce verification. When the 'dataType' parameter is set to 'delete', the function deletes users based on the provided user IDs without confirming if the current user has the right permissions. This oversight allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher to delete any WordPress user, including administrators, by sending a tailored request to the AJAX endpoint.
No known patch is available. It is recommended to review the vulnerability details and consider uninstalling the affected plugin.
