Description
The WordLift plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data via the 'wl_update_ingredient_post_meta' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 3.54.17, due to a missing per-post capability check on the user-supplied recipe IDs in the Food Knowledge Graph main ingredient update handler, which only checks the generic 'edit_posts' capability. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to change the main ingredient (about JSON-LD) structured data of recipes they are not allowed to edit, on sites where the Food KG feature and WP Recipe Maker are active.
