Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Admin Bar Remover plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.2.2

For versions up to, and including, 1.0.2.2, update the plugin to a version that includes a fix for the missing capability check on the
update form() function.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the update form() function until a patch is available.
