Unauthenticated Arbitrary Option Update vulnerability in biplob018's Shortcode Addons plugin <= 3.0.2 at WordPress.

Una vulnerabilidad de actualización de opciones arbitrarias no autenticada en el plugin Shortcode Addons de biplob018 versiones anteriores a 3.0.2 incluyéndola, en WordPress

The "Shortcode Addons- with Visual Composer, Divi, Beaver Builder and Elementor Extension" plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary options update in versions up to, and including, 3.0.2. This is due to improperly configured capability checking via the permission_callback on the ShortCodeAddonsUltimate/v2/ REST API Endpoint. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify arbitrary site options that can be used for complete site takeover.
