Missing Authorization vulnerability in Karim Salman Kraken.io Image Optimizer allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Kraken.io Image Optimizer: from n/a through 2.6.7.

TheKraken.io Image Optimizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on its kraken_media_library_reset_all AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 2.6.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to reset image optimizations.
