Input validation vulnerability in 3 themes by HashThemes

  • Severity: medium-risk

Several WordPress themes have a security vulnerability that makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to activate plugins without authorization. This vulnerability occurs due to a lack of nonce validation on the activate_plugin() function called via an AJAX action. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability if they can get an authenticated user to click on a malicious link or perform some other action.
