Until a fix is available, restrict plugin usage to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Time Tracker plugin if Subscriber-level users cannot be fully trusted. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official patches promptly once released.
Description
The Time Tracker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and loss of data due to a missing capability check on the 'tt_update_table_function' and 'tt_delete_record_function' functions in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update options such as user registration and default role, allowing anyone to register as an Administrator, and to delete limited data from the database.
