Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions AffiliateWP for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.14.0

Description The issue allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to modify data without authorization due to a missing capability check on the affwp activate addons page plugin function. This function is called via an AJAX action, enabling attackers to activate arbitrary plugins.
