Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Elespare plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.1.2

Description The issue is related to unauthorized post creation due to a missing capability check on the elespare create post() function, which is hooked via AJAX. This allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to create arbitrary posts.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.1.2, upgrade the plugin to a version that includes the necessary capability check for the elespare create post() function. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the elespare create post() function until a patch is available. Review permissions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
