AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, restrict user roles that can authenticate or disable the vulnerable AJAX action if possible.

Description

The WP Crowdfunding WordPress plugin before 2.2.1 does not check the campaign-submission capability in one of its AJAX actions, allowing any authenticated users such as Subscribers to create crowdfunding campaign posts despite not being granted that permission.
