Description

The Checkbox plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized loss of data due to a missing capability check on the 'wp_ajax_nopriv_checkbox_clean_log' AJAX endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.10. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to clear log files.
