Summary

The Database Cleaner plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 1.4.7 does not restrict which database tables can be deleted. An authenticated attacker with Administrator-level access can delete core WordPress tables.

Recommendation

Update the Database Cleaner plugin to a version newer than 1.4.7 or remove it if unused; limit the number of administrator accounts.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Database Cleaner plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary table deletion in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.7. This is due to a lack of restriction on database tables that can be deleted. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to delete core WordPress tables.
