Description

The Media Hygiene plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on several functions like fn_wmh_fetch_statistics_data() in versions up to, and including, 4.0.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve data and update settings.
