WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

GDPR Cookie Consent < 1.8.3 - Improper Access Controls

Description

Improper Access Controls issue in the cli_policy_generator AJAX call which could allow an authenticated user with low privileges (such as a subscriber) to:

- Change the status of any post/page from published to draft, removing them from the frontend of the blog.

- Put a payload in the content of one of them, leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issues.

Fixed in 1.8.3
