Technical details

The Theme Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in all versions up to, and including, 3.1. The vulnerability exists due to missing nonce validation on the 'ms_update' AJAX action within the plugin's controller. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious request and tricking a logged-in administrator into executing it (e.g., via social engineering or a malicious link). Successful exploitation allows the attacker to modify child theme CSS styles. The issue is addressed in version 3.2.
