Findings

  • medium AJAX settings save missing capability check

    missing_capability

    save_settings_ajax only verifies rss_news_importer_save_settings nonce then update_option(rss_news_importer_options). Sibling handlers correctly require manage_options. Nonce alone is not authorization.

    admin/class-rss-news-importer-admin-ajax.php:185-220

    Recommendation

    Add current_user_can('manage_options') after the nonce check.

WP Registry hashes the installable build and reports on that exact bytes-for-bytes copy. Embargoed findings are withheld until they are disclosed, so a clean verdict means nothing public is outstanding. WP Manifest does not audit code itself.
