Summary
The GW AI Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the gwaiwebu_gravitywrite_disconnect_handler() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to disconnect the plugin from GravityWrite via the 'gwaiwebu_gravitywrite_disconnect' AJAX action.
