Description
The Employee Spotlight – Team Member Showcase & Meet the Team Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized tracking settings modification due to missing authorization validation on the employee_spotlight_check_optin() function in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to enable or disable tracking settings.
