## Summary

The Content Egg WordPress plugin (affiliate product importer and price comparison tool), in all versions up to and including 12.0.0, is affected. An authenticated user with author-level access or higher can exploit a missing authorization check to publish or create posts that are attributed to an administrator's account, allowing lower-privileged users to publish content that appears to come from an administrator.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- keywordrush Content Egg – Affiliate Product Importer & Price Comparison: through 12.0.0

## Description

The Content Egg – Affiliate Product Importer & Price Comparison plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 12.0.0 This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to create posts attributed to another user's account — typically an administrator — by supplying an admin-owned preset_id, causing wp_insert_post to record the administrator as post_author. This includes the ability to create published posts when the attacker already holds publish_posts capability for the preset's post type, resulting in administrator-attributed published content created by a lower-privileged user.
