Description
The WP Shamsi plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check when saving plugin settings in versions up to, and including, 4.1.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to update the plugin's options and active a pro license.
