What is CVE-2024-11851?

The NitroPack plugin for WordPress contains a security flaw that allows authenticated attackers, with subscriber permissions or higher, to perform unauthorized arbitrary updates to transient data via the nitropack_rml_notification function. This vulnerability arises from a lack of capability checks, which exposes the system to potential risks.
