What the vulnerability does
The WPCS – WordPress Currency Switcher Professional plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the create function in versions up to, and including, 1.1.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to create a custom drop-down currency switcher.

A logged-in user with low privileges can modify plugin settings or data without proper permission validation. This allows unauthorized changes to currency switching behavior or configuration that should be restricted to administrators.
What an attacker can do

Potential impact on your site

Conditions required to exploit
