WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Cookie Consent < 0.0.10 - Subscriber+ MaxMind License Key Update
Description
The plugin does not correctly enforce its intended administrator-only capability check on the REST route that stores its geolocation service license key, so the route falls back to an authentication-only gate, allowing any authenticated user such as a subscriber to overwrite the stored key and disrupt the plugin's geolocation-based consent banner targeting.
