Description
The ImageRecycle pdf & image compression plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on several AJAX actions in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.14. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to perform unauthorized actions, such as updating plugin settings.
