FleekDash V2 <= 2.6.2.2 — Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Administrator Account Takeover via /users/{id} REST Endpoint

Am I affected?

• Check your version: in wp-admin go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and read the version under FleekDash V2.
• No admin access? Run a passive check of your site. It reads public files only.

What to do

1. Update to version 2.6.2.5, or a newer patched version
2. Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
3. Watch FleekDash V2 to get an email when the next vulnerability is published.

Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to maru.

The FleekDash V2 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.2.2. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite the email address and password of any WordPress user, including administrators, enabling full account takeover and complete site compromise. The public /wp-json/fleekdash/v1/register endpoint auto-provisions a Subscriber-role account and returns a valid REST nonce regardless of the site's users_can_register setting, enabling unauthenticated attackers to self-provision the required credentials and nonce in a single prior request.
