Description
The WoowGallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data via the opt-in handler (_install_with_new_user) of its bundled Freemius SDK in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.5, due to a missing capability check on the path that runs from the admin menu on sites where the administrator skipped the Freemius opt-in. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to complete the Freemius opt-in for the site with attacker-supplied account and install keys, or put it into pending activation with an attacker-chosen email address. This can link the site's Freemius connection to an account the attacker controls and change the tracking permissions.
