Descriptions

The WordPress Ping Optimizer WordPress plugin before 2.35.1.3.0 does not have CSRF check in place when updating its settings, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin change them via a CSRF attack

El plugin Ping Optimizer de WordPress versiones anteriores a 2.35.1.3.0, no presenta una comprobación de tipo CSRF cuando es actualizada su configuración, lo que podría permitir a atacantes hacer que un administrador conectado los cambie por medio de un ataque de tipo CSRF

The WordPress Ping Optimizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.35.1.2.3. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the cbnetpoOptionsPg function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update plugin settings, via forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. CVE-2022-30705 appears to be a duplicate of this vulnerability.
