Description
The Extended Post Status plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the wp_insert_post_data function in versions up to, and including, 1.0.19. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to set their own posts to the 'published' status via the extended post status metabox.
