CVE-2023-2172
WordPress BadgeOS Insecure Direct Object Reference
Description
The BadgeOS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to, and including, 3.7.1.6.

This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to overwrite arbitrary post titles.
