## 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.
