Description
The Justified Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'dismiss_how_to_use_notice' and 'dismiss_notice' functions in versions up to, and including, 1.7.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to dismiss admin notices.
