Official Description
The Workreap WordPress theme before 2.6.4 does not verify that an addon service belongs to the user issuing the request, or indeed that it is an addon service, when processing the workreap_addons_service_remove action, allowing any user to delete any post by knowing or guessing the id.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-4239 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 6.5.
