Description

The Qubely plugin for WordPress contains an incorrect authorization weakness that makes it possible for contributor-level users to update the plugin's settings in versions up to, and including 1.7.8. This is due to the use of the current_user_can() function checking for the edit_posts permission available to contributors rather than the manage_options permission only available to administrators on the ajax_update_qubely_options() function called via the wp_ajax_update_qubely_options AJAX action.
