Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to RIA Labs.

The EmbedPress – PDF Embedder, 3D PDF FlipBook, Google Reviews, YouTube Videos, Upload & Embed PDF documents plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Denial of Service in versions 4.6.0 through 4.6.3. This is due to missing authorization on the /google-reviews/places REST route, whose GET and POST handlers were gated only on edit_posts (or entirely open) rather than manage_options, making them accessible to unauthenticated or low-privileged users. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to make repeated billable third-party API calls using the site's configured API key and insert an unlimited number of attacker-controlled rows into the database via the unprotected REST endpoint.
