Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions RapidLoad Power-Up for Autoptimize plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.7.1

Description The issue is related to a missing capability check on the ajax deactivate function, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access to update settings without proper authorization. This can lead to the disabling of caching.
