Vulnerabilidad de Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) en OceanWP Ocean Extra. Este problema afecta a Ocean Extra: desde n/a hasta 2.2.2.

The Ocean Extra plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the ajax_required_plugins_activate() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to activate arbitrary plugins via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
