Descriptions

The Coupon Zen WordPress plugin before 1.0.6 does not have CSRF check when activating plugins, which could allow attackers to make logged in admins activate arbitrary plugins present on the blog via a CSRF attack

The Coupon Zen plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.0.5. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the plugin_activation function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to activate a recommended plugin via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
