## What is CVE-2024-4874?

CVE-2024-4874 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in BricksBuilder Bricks Builder, published on 22 Jun 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The Bricks Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.8 via the postId parameter due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to modify posts and pages created by other users including admins. As a requirement for this, an admin would have to enable access to the editor specifically for such a user or enable it for all users with a certain user account type.

Weakness: CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key)
