Descriptions

The WP VR WordPress plugin before 8.3.15 does not authorisation and CSRF in a function hooked to admin_init, allowing unauthenticated users to downgrade the plugin, thus leading to Reflected or Stored XSS, as previous versions have such vulnerabilities.

El complemento WP VR de WordPress anterior a 8.3.15 no autoriza y CSRF en una función vinculada a admin_init, lo que permite a los usuarios no autenticados degradar el complemento, lo que lleva a XSS reflejado o almacenado, ya que las versiones anteriores tienen tales vulnerabilidades.

The WP VR – 360 Panorama and Virtual Tour Builder For WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the trigger_rollback() function in all versions up to, and including, 8.3.14. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to downgrade the plugins version which can be used to exploit older vulnerabilities.
