Findings

  • low Cache clear accepts any logged-in user with valid nonce

    missing_capability

    redirect_uploads_clear_cache on admin_init verifies clear_cache_action nonce but never checks manage_options. Any authenticated user who can create that nonce can delete plugin transients. Blast radius is limited to cache flush.

    redirect-uploads.php:100-110

    Recommendation

    Require current_user_can('manage_options') before clearing transients.

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.
