Input validation vulnerability in Maintenance Switch 1.5.2

The Maintenance Switch plugin for WordPress has a security vulnerability in versions up to and including 1.5.2. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to restore default settings, create, or delete theme files based on the plugin’s settings by tricking a site administrator into clicking a link.
