What is CVE-2019-9574?

The WP Human Resource Management plugin, prior to version 2.2.6, lacks proper server-side authorization checks, allowing unauthorized users to modify leave requests without appropriate administrative privileges. This oversight means that individuals outside of the designated Administrator or HR Manager roles can potentially alter sensitive leave data, leading to unauthorized actions within the application.
