CVE vulnerability detail — eXtreme Datacenter Security Operations
Description
The Brilliance <= 1.2.7, Activello <= 1.4.0, and Newspaper X <= 1.3.1 themes for WordPress are vulnerable to Plugin Activation/Deactivation. This is due to the activello_activate_plugin and activello_deactivate_plugin functions in the inc/welcome-screen/class-activello-welcome.php file missing capability and security checks/nonces. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to activate and deactivate arbitrary plugins installed on a vulnerable site.
