CVE-2025-22722

The Widget Options plugin for WordPress is susceptible to unauthorized data modification because it lacks proper capability checks in the widgetopts_ajax_hide_rating() function across versions from 4.0.0 through 4.0.8. Authenticated users with at least subscriber-level access can exploit this to dismiss a ratings notice without permission.
