What the vulnerability does
The Accessiy By CodeConfig Accessibility – Easy One-Click Accessibility Toolbar That Truly Matters plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.0.2. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to modify the plugin’s global accessibility settings.
