Description
The Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to capability_type mishandling in register_post_type in versions up to, and including, 5.0.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor level privileges and above to modify contact forms and potential supply paths to sensitive files that make sensitive information disclosure possible.
