Researcher R3N0
Description

The Accordions plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary options update in versions up to, and including, 2.0.3. This is due to insufficient capability checking on the manual_import_json() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to modify arbitrary options on the site and can be used for complete site takeover. This is due to an incomplete fix of CVE-2022-33198.
