Bug#51770: UNINSTALL PLUGIN requires no privileges
The problem was that UNINSTALL PLUGIN wasn't performing privilege
checks before removing a plugin. Any user (including users without
any kind of privileges) could uninstall any plugin.
The solution is to verify if the user has the DELETE privilege for
the mysql.plugin table before uninstalling a plugin.
[...]
A CVE should probably be assigned for this.
