What the vulnerability does
The Sweet Energy Efficiency plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access, modification, and loss of data due to a missing capability check on the 'sweet_energy_efficiency_action' AJAX handler in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber level access and above, to read, modify, and delete arbitrary graphs.

An attacker with a low-privilege account can alter settings or records without proper permission validation. The vulnerability affects the product's integrity but does not expose sensitive data or cause service disruption.
What an attacker can do
