The LiteSpeed Cache WordPress plugin before 7.9.2 lacks capability checks on its admin-notice dismissal handler and does not bind nonces to specific notices. Any low-privileged authenticated user such as a Subscriber can dismiss non-dismissible warnings, including ones about publicly accessible sensitive files. This is triggered via the web interface on sites running the vulnerable plugin. Affected sites can face file exposure risks.

Description · NVD
The LiteSpeed Cache WordPress plugin before 7.9.2 does not perform a capability check on its admin-notice dismissal handler, and the nonce it relies on is not bound to the specific notice being dismissed, so on sites in certain configurations a low-privileged authenticated user (Subscriber) can dismiss administrative notices the LiteSpeed Cache WordPress plugin before 7.9.2 marks as non-dismissible, including a warning that sensitive files may be publicly accessible.
