Summary
The Perfit WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1. This is due to missing authorization checks on the `logout` function called via the `actions` function hooked to `admin_init`. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary plugin settings via the `action` parameter.
