This vulnerability falls under the OWASP Top 10 category A1: Broken Access Control. [1]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can allow unprivileged users to perform unauthorized actions within the WordPress Scroller Plugin, potentially leading to unauthorized changes or access to features meant for higher privilege users.

How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by checking for unauthorized access attempts or actions performed by unprivileged users (such as subscribers) within the WordPress Scroller Plugin up to version 2.0.2. Since it involves missing authorization checks, monitoring logs for unexpected privilege escalations or unusual plugin function calls may help. However, no specific detection commands or tools are provided in the available resources. [1]
