Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Sushmita Poudel.
The Himer theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.0 via the wpqa_accept_invite AJAX action due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to join private groups.
