Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-2450 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown reSmush.it : the only free Image Optimizer \u0026 compress plugin. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2450/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2450/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-2450","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2450/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-2450","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-93hf-hv49-rhh9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"The reSmush.it WordPress plugin lacks authorization checks on AJAX actions, allowing any logged-in user to perform privileged operations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"resmush.it_image_optimizer","vendor":"resmush.it"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The reSmush.it : the only free Image Optimizer \u0026 compress plugin WordPress plugin before 0.4.4 lacks authorization in various AJAX actions, allowing any logged-in users, such as subscribers to call them.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"reSmush.it Image Optimizer \u003c 0.4.4 - Subscriber+ AJAX Calls","id":"CVE-2022-2450","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Use After Free in gpac/gpac","id":"CVE-2022-2453"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"reSmush.it Image Optimizer \u003c 0.4.7 - Multiple CSRF","id":"CVE-2022-2449"},"products":["reSmush.it : the only free Image Optimizer \u0026 compress plugin"],"published":"2022-11-14","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"reSmush.it Image Optimizer \u003c 0.4.7 - Multiple CSRF","id":"CVE-2022-2449","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-14"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"reSmush.it Image Optimizer \u003c 0.4.6 - Admin+ Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-2448","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-30","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"The reSmush.it WordPress plugin lacks authorization checks on AJAX actions, allowing any logged-in user to perform privileged operations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2450/"}
