Vulnerability Description
The Beaver Builder – WordPress Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.4. This is due to insufficient capability checks in the REST API endpoints under the 'fl-controls/v1' namespace that control site-wide Global Presets.
