Description

The Limit Login Attempts Reloaded plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the toggle_auto_update() function hooked via AJAX in all versions up to, and including, 2.25.25. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with access to a valid nonce, to toggle auto-updates for the plugin on and off.
