Insert Headers and Footers Code – HT Script <= 1.1.2 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Limited Options Update

Description

The Insert Headers and Footers Code – HT Script plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the ajax_dismiss function in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update option values to 1/true on the WordPress site.
