What the vulnerability does
The Folderly plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to an insufficient capability check on the /wp-json/folderly/v1/config/clear-all-data REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 0.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to clear all data like terms and categories.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Folderly versions 0.3 and earlier contain an authorization flaw that allows authenticated users to modify data they should not have access to. An attacker with a low-privilege account can alter information within the application by sending crafted requests. The vulnerability affects data integrity but not confidentiality or availability. Update to version 0.6.1 or later to resolve this issue.
What an attacker can do

Potential impact on your site
