Descriptions

The Profiler – What Slowing Down Your WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the wpsd_plugin_control() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reactivate previously deactivated plugins after accessing the "Profiler" page.

El complemento Profiler – What Slowing Down Your WP para WordPress es vulnerable a la modificación no autorizada de datos debido a una falta de comprobación de capacidad en la función wpsd_plugin_control() en todas las versiones hasta la 1.0.0 incluida.
