Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to 0xd4rk5id3.

The Projectopia – WordPress Project Management plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the pto_unlink_delete_client() function in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.17. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Projectopia Client-level access and above, to delete clients.
