Takeads vulnerability

What happened

The Takeads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.13. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete the plugin's configuration options.

Affected versions

Takeads: 0 through 1.0.13 (semver) Fixed: See vendor advisory.
