      "value": "The Zox News - Professional WordPress News & Magazine Theme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data modification. This vulnerability can lead to privilege escalation and denial of service conditions due to missing capability checks on the backup_options() and reset_options() functions in all versions up to and including 3.17.0. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to update and delete arbitrary option values on the WordPress site. Attackers can exploit this issue to update the default user role for registration to Administrator and enable user registration, thereby gaining administrative access to the vulnerable site. Additionally, they could delete critical options, causing errors that may disrupt the site's functionality and deny service to legitimate users."

      "value": "El complemento Zox News - Professional WordPress News & Magazine Theme para WordPress es vulnerable a la modificación no autorizada de datos. Esta vulnerabilidad puede provocar la escalada de privilegios y la denegación de condiciones de servicio debido a la falta de comprobaciones de capacidad en las funciones backup_options() y reset_options() en todas las versiones hasta 3.17.0, incluida. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a los atacantes autenticados con acceso de nivel de suscriptor y superior actualizar y eliminar valores de opciones arbitrarios en el sitio de WordPress. Los atacantes pueden aprovechar este problema para actualizar el rol de usuario predeterminado para el registro a Administrador y habilitar el registro de usuarios, obteniendo así acceso administrativo al sitio vulnerable. Además, podrían eliminar opciones críticas, lo que provocaría errores que podrían interrumpir la funcionalidad del sitio y denegar el servicio a usuarios legítimos."
