Description
The GDPR Cookie Compliance plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the gdpr_cookie_compliance_reset_settings AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 4.0.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to reset all of the settings.
