Vulnerability Overview

The Simple Admin Language Change plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the salc_change_user_locale function in versions up to, and including, 2.0.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to change the locale of other users.

Technical Analysis
