Summary
The Adwised Web Push Notification WordPress plugin through 2.5.7 lets any authenticated user overwrite its site-wide configuration because it performs no capability or nonce check. The plugin also does not escape these values before printing them inside an inline script on every front-end page, a cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79). An authenticated user with a subscriber role can run scripts against every visitor, including administrators. The references include a link to an exploit.
