What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Mega Store Woocommerce theme for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the setup_widgets() function in core/includes/importer/whizzie.php in all versions up to, and including, 5.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to create arbitrary pages and modify site settings.
