Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: QA Analytics – Web Analytics Tool with Heatmaps & Session Replay Across All Pages plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.1.0.0

Description: The issue is related to a missing capability check on the ajax save plugin config() function, allowing unauthorized modification of data. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's settings.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 4.1.0.0, update to a version higher than 4.1.0.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the ajax save plugin config() function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of exploitation.
