Descriptions

The Ultimate FAQ WordPress plugin before 2.1.2 does not have capability and CSRF checks in the ewd_ufaq_welcome_add_faq and ewd_ufaq_welcome_add_faq_page AJAX actions, available to any authenticated users. As a result, any users, with a role as low as Subscriber could create FAQ and FAQ questions

Como resultado, cualquier usuario, con un rol tan bajo como el de suscriptor, podría crear preguntas frecuentes y FAQ
