Description
The Clone plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the wpa_wpc_ajax_install_new() function in versions up to, and including, 2.4.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to install a backup plugin.
