Description
The wpDataTables – Tables & Table Charts premium WordPress plugin before 3.4.2 has Improper Access Control.

By exploiting this issue an attacker is able to delete the data of all users in the same table. Please note that this only affects the premium version of the plugin which shares the same slug as the free version.
