Does this affect you?
It affects shapedplugin Location Weather – WordPress Weather Forecast, AQI, Temperature and Weather Widget. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.
No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.
The Location Weather plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to missing capability checks on the `splw_update_block_options()` and `lwp_clean_weather_transients()` functions in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to disable all weather blocks and purge all weather cache transients. The nonce required for these actions is exposed to all authenticated users via `wp_localize_script()` on the `init` hook.
