Vulnerabilidad de Plugin Settings Change no autenticada en el complemento Modula en versiones <= 2.6.9 en WordPress.

The Customizable WordPress Gallery Plugin – Modula Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the update_troubleshooting_options function in versions up to, and including, 2.6.9.
