Folderly <= 0.3 - Incorrect Authorization to Authenticated (Author+) Term Deletion

Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.

QFinch assessment

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.
