Description

The Download Monitor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the enable_shop() function in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to enable shop functionality.
