Ultimate WordPress Auction Plugin <= 4.2.9 - Missing Authorization to Arbitrary Post Deletion
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The Ultimate WordPress Auction Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access to functionality in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to delete arbitrary auctions, posts as well as pages and allows them to execute other actions related to auction handling.
