Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Protect WP Admin WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.6.2

Description The issue concerns a lack of authorization check in the lib/pwa-deactivate.php file, potentially allowing unauthenticated users to disable the plugin through a crafted request. This could compromise the protection offered by the plugin.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.6.2, update to version 3.6.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the lib/pwa-deactivate.php file to prevent unauthorized disabling of the plugin.
