Summary
The RSS Aggregator – RSS Import, News Feeds, Feed to Post, and Autoblogging plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'wprss_activate_feed_source' and 'wprss_pause_feed_source' functions in all versions up to, and including, 4.23.11.
