The Real Estate Directory theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.0.5. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the rdm_activate_plugin function.

This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to activate arbitrary plugins via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Not sure which version you run? Run a passive check — it reads public files only.

Remediation & mitigations

Update to version 1.0.6, or a newer patched version
Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
