Affected versions: *-1.0.6; *-1.0.9; *-1.1.7; *-1.1.4; *-1.2.5; *; *-1.0.7; *
Vulnerability type: CWE-862 Missing Authorization
Affected software, patched versions and attribution
Several themes for WordPress are vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing nonce validation on the activate_plugin() function called via an AJAX action in various versions of the themes. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to activate arbitrary plugins via a forged request, if they can trick an authenticated user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
