## Affected

- 1clickdesigns ClickDesigns: through 1.8.0

## Description

The ClickDesigns plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'clickdesigns_add_api' and the 'clickdesigns_remove_api' functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify or remove the plugin's API key.
