AI-suggested

Upgrade the Botiga Pro plugin to version 1.6.5 or later, where this authorization issue has been fixed. No other mitigation is indicated. Patch status is not explicitly stated in the input, but the affected versions are prior to 1.6.5, implying the fix is in 1.6.5.

Description

The Botiga Pro WordPress plugin before 1.6.5 does not perform any authorisation checks on one of its REST routes, allowing unauthenticated users to update arbitrary WordPress options with arbitrary values, which could lead to privilege escalation and a full site takeover. The same route also allows unauthenticated users to store arbitrary web scripts which are then executed on every page of the site's front end, as well as to move arbitrary posts to the trash.
