The Wordapp plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to an use of insufficiently unique cryptographic signature on the wa_pdx_op_config_set function in versions up to, and including, 1.5.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to the plugin to change the validation_token in the plugin config, providing access to the plugins remote control functionalities, such as creating an admin access URL, which can be used for privilege escalation.

Weakness

The product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data.
