Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Groundhogg plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.7.9.8

Description The issue is related to a missing capability check on the check license functions, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions and above to modify data, specifically the license key and support license key, but only to a valid license key.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.7.9.8, update to a version higher than 2.7.9.8 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the check license functions to prevent unauthorized modification of data.
