The MultiVendorX plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data, modification of data, and loss of data due to an improper capability check on the 'save_settings_permission' function for the REST routes instantiated by the 'mvx_rest_routes_react_module' function versions up to, and including, 4.0.25.
