Attention! This security issue was rejected on 2024 Jan 25, this entry will be deleted soon. This issue (reported in version 5.0.5) is related to a Broken Access Control where the Contributor role user can preview any created tables using the shortcode, which should only be accessible to the Administrator role or role assigned to access the plugin feature. The vendor has released the working patch, but the problem is partly on the core side.
