Low risk2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs
Summary
The rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress WordPress plugin before 4.7.12 does not check ownership before changing the privacy level of an activity and its attached media. It relies only on a nonce shared with every logged-in user, allowing users with a subscriber-level account or above to make another user's private activity public or hide it.
Risk Assessment
Low-privileged users can alter the privacy of others' content, leading to privacy breaches and potential data exposure. This may undermine trust in the social platform.
Recommendation
Update the rtMedia plugin to version 4.7.12 or later. Check whether any unauthorized privacy changes to activities have occurred.
