Description
The Packlink PRO shipping module plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the validate_internal_call() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to call several action/functions.
