Descriptions

Auth. (subscriber+) Broken Access Control vulnerability in WooSwipe WooCommerce Gallery plugin <= 2.0.1 on WordPress.

Vulnerabilidad de control de acceso roto autenticada (con permisos de suscriptores o superiores) en el complemento WooSwipe WooCommerce Gallery de Wordpress en versiones &lt;= 2.0.1.

The WooSwipe WooCommerce Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the update() function called via the admin_menu hook in versions up to, and including, 3.0.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with minimal permissions, such as a subscriber, to update the plugins settings. This can also be exploited via Cross-Site Request Forgery.
