Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The HurryTimer – An Scarcity and Urgency Countdown Timer for WordPress & WooCommerce plugin versions up to, and including, 2.10.0

Description: The issue allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to publish arbitrary posts, including ones they have submitted for review or a site administrator has in draft, due to a missing capability check on the activateCampaign() function.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 2.10.0, update to a version that includes a fix for the missing capability check on the activateCampaign() function. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the activateCampaign() function to prevent unauthorized post publication.
