Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WPC Smart Messages for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.2.1

Description The issue allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to activate or deactivate smart messages due to a missing capability check on the ajax enable function. This makes it possible for attackers to unauthorizedly modify smart message settings.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 4.2.1, update to a version that includes a fix for the missing capability check on the ajax enable function to prevent unauthorized smart message activation or deactivation. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ajax enable function to prevent exploitation until a patch is available.
