Summary

The Post Type Switcher plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to and including 4.0.0 due to missing validation on a user-controlled key. This allows authenticated attackers with Author-level access and above to modify the post type of arbitrary posts and pages they do not own, including those created by administrators.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with Author-level privileges can change the post type of posts and pages owned by others, potentially causing site disruption, broken navigation, and SEO impact.

Recommendation

Update the Post Type Switcher plugin to a version later than 4.0.0. Limit accounts with Author-level and higher privileges to the necessary minimum.
