WordPress Plugin: image-hover-effects-ultimate: CVE-2022-42459: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

The Image Hover Effects Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary Options Update in versions up to, and including, 9.7.1. This is due to a lack of validation on the settings supplied to the post_oxi_settings() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrative level permissions, to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This would only affect sites where the administrator has been restricted to not 'manage_options' or the administrator has allowed users with lower permissions to update the plugin's settings.
