📄 Description (English)

The GenerateBlocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.0. This is due to missing object-level authorization checks in the /wp-json/generateblocks/v1/dynamic-tag-replacements REST endpoint. The endpoint only verifies that the user has the edit_posts capability but does not verify the user has permission to access the specific post or its associated data referenced by attacker-controlled id parameters in dynamic tag content. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract sensitive information from arbitrary posts including author email addresses and non-protected post meta values by crafting dynamic tag payloads such as {{post_meta id:<target>|key:<meta_key>}} and {{post_title id:<target>|link:author_email}}.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

The GenerateBlocks WordPress plugin versions up to 2.2.0 contain an Insecure Direct Object Reference vulnerability in the REST API endpoint that allows authenticated users to access sensitive information from arbitrary posts without proper authorization checks. Attackers with Contributor-level access can extract post metadata, author emails, and other protected content by manipulating dynamic tag parameters.

📄 Description (Arabic)

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
Update GenerateBlocks plugin to version 2.2.1 or later immediately. Implement object-level authorization checks in REST endpoints. Restrict REST API access to authenticated users only. Monitor and audit REST API calls for suspicious dynamic tag patterns. Consider disabling the dynamic-tag-replacements endpoint if not actively used.
