Vulnerability Overview

The WooHoo Newspaper Magazine Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.3. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the /wp-admin/admin.php?page=mypanel&do=submit page.

The impact of this vulnerability is unknown.
