What it is

The Check Plagiarism plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the chk_plag_mine_plugin_wpse10500_admin_action() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update the API key.
