Descriptions

The Ask me WordPress theme before 6.8.4 does not perform nonce checks when processing POST requests to the Edit Profile page, allowing an attacker to trick a user to change their profile information by sending a crafted request.

El tema Ask me de WordPress versiones anteriores a 6.8.4, no lleva a cabo comprobaciones de nonce cuando procesa peticiones POST a la página Edit Profile, lo que permite a un atacante engañar a un usuario para que cambie su información de perfil mediante el envío de una petición diseñada.

The Ask Me theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 6.8.3. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation when editing profiles. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to edit user profiles, via forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
