Technical details

The plugin fails to correctly validate which page a page-capability request applies to, resulting in broken access control (CWE-863). Users with a custom fundraising role can bypass authorization checks to edit, publish, and read pages owned by other users, including those owned by administrators. The vulnerability requires authentication with a fundraising role but affects all pages regardless of ownership.
