Description
The Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk and Support Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the wpas_edit_reply function in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to modify arbitrary posts that they do not own.
