What is CVE-2024-9941?

The WordPress Gym Management System plugin, known as WPGYM, exhibits a vulnerability that allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access and above to exploit a missing capability check within the MJ_gmgt_add_staff_member() function.

Such a security gap poses a significant risk, potentially leading to unauthorized access and control over the WordPress site, impacting overall site security and user data integrity.
