Description

The Hide Category by User Role for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.1. This is due to a missing capability check on the admin_init hook that executes wp_cache_flush(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to flush the site's object cache via forged requests, potentially degrading site performance.
