The advisory
The WPZOOM Portfolio Lite WordPress plugin before 1.4.34 does not check that a user is allowed to edit a post before changing its type and order, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to convert any other user's posts and pages into portfolio items, removing them from their original listings and URLs.
