Description
The rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference via the 'rtMedia_attached_files' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.7.14, due to missing validation that the supplied media IDs belong to the current user. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers, through the media upload endpoint, to embed other users' media, including private media, in a new activity, and for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to also reassign that media to their own activities.
