Title
Buy Me a Coffee – Button and Widget Plugin <= 3.7 - Missing Authorization
Summary
The "Buy Me a Coffee – Button and Widget Plugin" plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to missing capability checks on the recieve_post, bmc_disconnect, name_post, and widget_post functions in versions up to, and including, 3.7.
