Descriptions

The miniOrange's Google Authenticator WordPress plugin before 5.5 does not have proper authorisation and CSRF checks when handling the reconfigureMethod, and does not validate the parameters passed to it properly. As a result, unauthenticated users could delete arbitrary options from the blog, making it unusable.

Como resultado, los usuarios no autenticados podrían eliminar opciones arbitrarias del blog, haciéndolo inusable
