Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The Cookie Consent for WP – Cookie Consent, Consent Log, Cookie Scanner, Script Blocker (for GDPR, CCPA & ePrivacy) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the wpl_script_save AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to whitelist scripts.
