Description
The System Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the sd_option_value() function hooked via an AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve potentially sensitive option values, and deserialize the content of those values.
