Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Activity Log for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.5.0

Description The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the ajax run cleanup function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to invoke the function via a forged request if they can trick a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 4.5.0, consider disabling the ajax run cleanup function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to the function to minimize the risk of invocation by unauthenticated attackers.
