Description
The Create DB Tables WordPress plugin up to version 1.2.1 has an authorization bypass vulnerability. It registers admin_post hooks for creating and deleting database tables without proper capability checks or nonce verification. This allows any authenticated user, including those with Subscriber-level access, to create arbitrary tables or delete any existing database table, including critical WordPress core tables. The vulnerability can lead to severe integrity and availability impacts on the WordPress installation.
