MeetingHub – Webinar & Meeting Plugin for Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, Microsoft Teams, & Jitsi Meet <= 1.25.10 - Missing Authorization
Description
The MeetingHub – Webinar & Meeting Plugin for Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, Microsoft Teams, & Jitsi Meet plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on a function in versions up to, and including, 1.25.10. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform an unauthorized action.

To learn about identifying and remediating authorization vulnerabilities in WordPress, you can explore the following security practices and resources:
- WordPress Plugin Handbook (Security): The official developer documentation provides comprehensive guides on "Checking User Capabilities" and "Nonces" to ensure that sensitive actions are restricted to authorized users.
- OWASP Top 10 - Broken Access Control: This resource explains the underlying principles of authorization failures and provides generic examples of how to verify that access controls are enforced correctly.
- WordPress Developer Documentation: Search for functions like
current_user_can(),check_ajax_referer(), andregister_rest_route()to understand the standard methods for implementing permission callbacks and security checks in AJAX and REST API endpoints. - Static Analysis (SAST): You can use open-source security scanners designed for PHP and WordPress to identify common patterns where capability checks are missing in hook registrations.
Focusing on these defensive implementation patterns is the best way to ensure that plugins remain secure against unauthorized access.
Summary
The MeetingHub plugin for WordPress (versions up to 1.25.10) is vulnerable to unauthorized access because it fails to perform authorization checks on certain functions. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to perform administrative actions by directly interacting with vulnerable plugin endpoints.
Exploit Outline
The exploitation methodology involves identifying functions registered via WordPress AJAX hooks (wp_ajax_ or wp_ajax_nopriv_) or REST API routes that do not implement a permission check. An attacker crafts an HTTP request (typically POST) targeting /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php or the relevant REST route, providing the 'action' parameter associated with the vulnerable function. Since the server-side code lacks a current_user_can() call or equivalent capability check, the sensitive action is executed regardless of the attacker's authentication status or privilege level.
