Description
The Ad Inserter – Ad Manager & AdSense Ads WordPress plugin up to version 2.8.16 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to access administrator-configured header and footer code blocks that are intended to be hidden from public view. The vulnerability is due to a missing capability check on the 'ai-debug-code' URL parameter.
