Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Rafshanzani Suhada.
The Zotpress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the Zotpress_process_accounts_AJAX function in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.12. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to reset the plugin's settings.
