Medium 6.5
In plain English
A medium-severity incorrect authorization in Easy Cookies Policy from IZSoft. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 10.7% (higher than 96% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The Easy Cookies Policy WordPress plugin through 1.6.2 is lacking any capability and CSRF check when saving its settings, allowing any authenticated users (such as subscriber) to change them. If users can't register, this can be done through CSRF. Furthermore, the cookie banner setting is not sanitised or validated before being output in all pages of the frontend and the backend settings one, leading to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting issue.
