Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Isuka sanuj.
The Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Denial of Service in versions 9.8.0 through 10.8.1. This is due to a missing authentication check on the /notice REST route and no validation or bound on the notice ID or target user ID passed to add_user_meta. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to write unlimited arbitrary rows into any user's metadata via the unauthenticated REST notice-dismissal endpoint, permanently preventing affected accounts from loading.
