Description
The Download Monitor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the ajax_handle_api_key_actions function in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.12. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to revoke existing API keys and generate new ones.
