Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Bugbang.

Low privileged users can use the AJAX action 'cp_plugins_do_button_job_later_callback' in the WP Content Copy Protection & No Right Click WordPress plugin before 3.1.5, to install any plugin (including a specific version) from the WordPress repository, as well as activate arbitrary plugin from then blog, which helps attackers install vulnerable plugins and could lead to more critical vulnerabilities like RCE.
