CVE-2023-2714

low-risk
Published 2023-05-20

The Groundhogg plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'check_license' functions in versions up to, and including, 2.7.9.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to change the license key and support license key, but it can only be changed to a valid license key.
