Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Krzysztof Zając.

The Swift Performance Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the on functionality hooked via admin_init function in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.6.14. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to export the settings of the plugin which can contain Cloudflare API tokens.
