Last modified
CVE-2024-5987 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.3/10 on the CVSS scale. The WP Accessibility Helper (WAH) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'save_contrast_variations' and 'save_empty_contrast_variations' functions in all versions up to, and including, 0.6.2.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to edit or delete contrast settings. EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
