Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to dc11.
The WP Mail Log plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to an insufficient capability check on the check_permission() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to access REST routes that they should not have access to and delete data.
