## Description

The WP Docs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.4 due to a missing capability check on the wp_docs_import_memphis_docs and wp_docs_import_memphis_rollback AJAX functions. The only protection is a nonce that is also printed to every visitor of a front-end page containing the [wpdocs] shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to import Memphis Documents Library content into WP Docs or roll back a previous import, which deletes the imported folders and resets the related import options.
