The Shortcode Cleaner Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the download_backup() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to export arbitrary options.

Severity ?
