Freemius SDK <= 2.2.3 - Missing Authorization to Arbitrary Options Update

  • Disclosed: 25.02.2019
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

The Freemius SDK for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the _get_db_option and _set_db_option functions in versions up to, and including, 2.2.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to change site settings and potentially take over the site.
