Technical details
This is a classic CSRF vulnerability in the Leo WordPress theme where sensitive actions lack proper nonce validation or token checks. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a request that, when clicked or auto-submitted by a logged-in user, performs unauthorized actions on the WordPress site. Successful exploitation requires user interaction (clicking a malicious link or visiting a crafted page) but can affect administrators or other privileged users.
