The Hostinger plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized plugin settings update due to a missing capability check on the function publish_website in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.7. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enable and disable maintenance mode.
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2023-6751, a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.3) affecting hostinger, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
