Summary
The Confection WordPress plugin, versions 0.4.0 through 0.4.7, lets anyone on the network execute arbitrary PHP code on the server without logging in. The flaw is in its settings saving, which skips permission and nonce checks and writes one setting unmodified into a PHP file the plugin then serves.

Read the original description
The Confection WordPress Cable WordPress plugin from 0.4.0 to 0.4.7 does not perform any capability or nonce checks before saving its settings and writing one of them, unmodified, into a standalone PHP file that it then serves, allowing unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server.
