Description
The DefendWP Firewall plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the defend_wp_firewall_verify_ajax_requests() function in versions up to, and including, 1.1.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to execute all of the plugin's AJAX requests.
