Descriptions

The Workreap WordPress theme before 2.2.2 had several AJAX actions missing authorization checks to verify that a user was authorized to perform critical operations such as modifying or deleting objects. This allowed a logged in user to modify or delete objects belonging to other users on the site.

El tema de Workreap WordPress versiones anteriores a 2.2.2, presentaban varias acciones AJAX que carecían de comprobaciones de autorización para verificar que un usuario estaba autorizado a llevar a cabo operaciones críticas como la modificación o la eliminación de objetos. Esto permitía a un usuario conectado modificar o eliminar objetos pertenecientes a otros usuarios del sitio
