Summary
The JaviBola Custom Theme Test plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in all versions up to and including 2.0.5. Missing nonce validation on the options page allows unauthenticated attackers to change the site's active theme by modifying the jbct_theme option via a forged request, provided they trick a site administrator into clicking a link.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can change the site's theme to a malicious one, potentially leading to display of harmful content or credential theft.
Recommendation
Update the plugin to the latest available version that includes the CSRF fix. If not available, consider removing it.
