Description
The Legal Pages – Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, GDPR, CCPA, and Cookie Notice Generator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the wpwax_legal_page() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read private pages.
