Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Insert Headers and Footers Code – HT Script plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.1.2

Description The issue is related to a missing capability check on the ajax dismiss function, allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to update option values. This can lead to errors on the site, denying access to legitimate users, or setting certain values to true, such as registration.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.1.2, update to a version that includes a fix for the missing capability check on the ajax dismiss function to prevent unauthorized modification of data. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ajax dismiss function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
