AI-suggested
Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the WordPress admin area and monitor for unauthorized changes to plugin settings. Consider disabling or removing the Plugin Groups plugin if it is not essential to reduce exposure.
Description
The Plugin Groups plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the admin_init() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the settings of the plugin, which can also cause a denial of service due to a misconfiguration.
