Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Arkadiusz Hydzik.

The Download Monitor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access to functionality due to a missing capability check on the dlm_uninstall_plugin function in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.13. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to uninstall the plugin and delete its data.
