## Description

The The GDPR Framework By Data443 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access to CCPA 'Do Not Sell' requests in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.1. This is due to the 'donotsellrequests' custom post type being registered with the default post capabilities instead of the plugin's administrative capability. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to list Do Not Sell requests containing requester names and email addresses, and for users with Editor-level access to edit or delete those requests.
