Description
The InstaWP Connect WordPress plugin before 0.1.4.2 does not perform a capability check on its InstaWP Connect WordPress plugin before 0.1.4.2-settings update action, verifying only a nonce, allowing an authenticated user holding a low-privileged role that an administrator has granted access to the InstaWP Connect WordPress plugin before 0.1.4.2's sync feature to overwrite the InstaWP Connect WordPress plugin before 0.1.4.2's settings, including the setting controlling which roles may access that feature. The role grant is not enabled by default.
