Description
The WP Docs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 1.9.8. This is due to missing capability checks on the AJAX functions wpdocs_create_folder, wpdocs_update_folder, and wpdocs_delete_folder. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to create, rename and delete folders maintained by the plugin.
