Description

The Accordion Slider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to missing capability checks on several functions such as ajax_getting_started_close(), ajax_close_custom_css_js_warning(), ajax_close_image_size_warning in versions up to, and including, 1.9.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to dismiss dashboard notices.
