Flex Mag - Responsive WordPress News Theme <= 3.5.2 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary Option Deletion
Vulnerability Description
The Flex Mag - Responsive WordPress News Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to a denial of service due to a missing capability check on the propanel_of_ajax_callback() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary option values on the WordPress site.
