What the vulnerability does
The CTL Arcade Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'ctl_arcade_lite_page_manage_games' page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to deactivate and activate arbitrary plugins via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
CTL Arcade Lite versions 1.0 and earlier are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. An attacker can craft a malicious webpage that, when visited by a logged-in site administrator, performs unwanted actions on the site without their knowledge. The vulnerability requires the victim to visit the attacker's page while authenticated. This can lead to unauthorized changes to site settings or content.
What an attacker can do
Trick a logged-in admin into performing unwanted actions on the site by visiting a malicious webpage.
Potential impact on your site
An attacker can modify site settings or content if they trick an admin into visiting a malicious link.
Conditions required to exploit
