Summary

Product Gallery Slider & Additional Variation Images for WooCommerce from 2.3.23 before 2.3.26 is affected. The Codestar backup AJAX actions csf-export, csf-import and csf-reset lack an authorization check (CWE-862). An authenticated Shop Manager can read the backup nonce from the settings page and use the unique parameter to read, overwrite or delete arbitrary WordPress options, including wp_user_roles, which allows privilege escalation to administrator.
