Summary

The Paid Memberships Pro plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability due to inadequate nonce validation in the pmpro_update_level_order() function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to potentially change membership levels by crafting a forged request if they manage to trick an administrator into clicking a malicious link. This issue affects all versions up to and including 2.12.7, posing risks to the integrity of user memberships and system security.
