Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Logo Slider and Showcase WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.3.37

Description: The issue allows Editor users to update the plugin's settings via the "rtWLSSettings" AJAX action because it uses a nonce for authorization instead of a capability check.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 1.3.37, update to version 1.3.37 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "rtWLSSettings" AJAX action to prevent unauthorized updates.
