Description

The Build App Online plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.23. This is due to the plugin registering the 'build-app-online-update-vendor-product' AJAX action via wp_ajax_nopriv_ without proper authentication checks, capability verification, or nonce validation in the update_vendor_product() function. The function accepts a user-supplied post ID from the request and calls wp_update_post() to modify the post_author field without validating whether the user has permission to modify the specified post. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the post_author of arbitrary posts to 0 (orphaning posts from their legitimate authors), or for authenticated attackers to claim ownership of any post by setting themselves as the author.
