Descriptions

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in Access Demo Importer <= 1.0.7 on WordPress allows an attacker to activate any installed plugin.

Una vulnerabilidad de tipo Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) en Access Demo Importer versiones anteriores a 1.0.7 incluyéndola en WordPress, permite a un atacante activar cualquier plugin instalado

A WordPress plugin and several WordPress themes developed by AccessPress Themes are vulnerable to unauthorized plugin deactivation and activation via the plugin_activation_callback and plugin_deactivate_callback functions called via AJAX actions that were missing capability checks and nonce validation. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to deactivate and activate arbitrary plugins. This could be used to deactivate security plugins and exploit other potential vulnerabilities.
