The GDPR CCPA Compliance & Cookie Consent Banner plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on several functions named ajaxUpdateSettings() in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.0.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.28%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
