Technical details
The Pie Register WordPress plugin through version 3.8.4.15 lacks capability, nonce, and authentication checks on a request handler, allowing unauthenticated attackers to invoke administrative functions. An attacker can reset plugin settings to defaults (disabling email verification and other registration security controls) and destroy the plugin's data table via a network request. No user interaction or authentication is required to trigger the vulnerability.
