Description
The Notiqoo WordPress plugin before 1.4.14 does not have capability checks on several of its AJAX actions and builds the name of the option to write from user input, allowing users with a role as low as contributor to modify arbitrary WordPress options, which can be used to deactivate Notiqoo WordPress plugin before 1.4.14 and to lock every administrator out of the site.
