WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Subscriptions for WooCommerce < 2.0.1 - Shop Manager+ Arbitrary Plugin Installation
Description
The plugin does not verify the user's capability before installing and activating a plugin from a user-supplied slug through a nonce-protected AJAX action, allowing users with the Shop Manager role (who lack plugin-management capabilities) to install and activate arbitrary plugins, resulting in remote code execution.
