Description
The WP Social Ninja – Embed Social Feeds, Customer Reviews, Chat Widgets (Google Reviews, YouTube Feed, Photo Feeds, and More) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data due to a missing capability check on the getAdvanceSettings and saveAdvanceSettings functions in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view and modify plugin's advanced settings.
