Newscrunch <= 1.8.4 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Arbitrary File Upload

CVSS 8.8 HIGHEPSS 0.5%CWE-352

The Newscrunch theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.4. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the newscrunch_install_and_activate_plugin() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
