Subscriber-level plugin activation via unchecked AJAX authorization
Published Dec 13, 2025 · Updated Dec 13, 2025
Missing authorization in the Mavix Education theme 1.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to activate Creativ Demo Importer. The mavix_education_activate_plugin AJAX handler performs plugin activation without checking whether the caller has plugin-management capability. Subscriber-level access reaches the action, and the demonstrated consequence is plugin activation rather than data disclosure or service interruption.
