Description

The SpeedyCache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the speedycache_save_varniship, speedycache_img_update_settings, speedycache_preloading_add_settings, and speedycache_preloading_delete_resource functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update plugin options.
