 "title": "Slimstat Analytics <= 5.5.0 - Authenticated (Delegated Settings Access) Missing Authorization to Analytics Data Deletion and Settings Reset",
 "description": "The SlimStat Analytics plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized loss of data in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.0, because the settings page runs its 'truncate-table' and 'reset-settings' actions before it checks the manage_options capability. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers who have been given access to the SlimStat settings page, which an administrator can grant to lower-privileged roles or users, to delete all collected analytics data and reset the plugin's settings.",
