Arraytics WPCafe: Broken access control in WordPress plugin
Summary
The WPCafe WordPress plugin up to and including version 3.0.22 contains a missing authorization check (CWE-862). An authenticated user with a low-privileged account can access functions or data they should not be allowed to use, such as viewing other people's data. The attack requires a valid low-privileged account on the affected site, and the impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity.
