Summary

The GreenShift – Animation and Page Builder Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data in versions up to, and including, 12.8.9. This is due to a missing capability check on the 'gspb_update_global_wp_settings' function that only verifies the 'edit_posts' capability instead of requiring administrative privileges. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to modify global WordPress theme color settings site-wide, leading to site defacement.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes the possibility of an attacker defacing the entire website, which can harm the organization's reputation and user trust.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the GreenShift plugin to the latest version that includes a fix requiring proper administrative privileges for this function.
