Descriptions

The Jquery Validation For Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin before 5.3 does not have CSRF check in place when updating its settings, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin change Blog options like default_role, users_can_register via a CSRF attack

El plugin Jquery Validation For Contact Form 7 de WordPress versiones anteriores a 5.3, no presenta una comprobación de tipo CSRF cuando es actualizada su configuración, lo que podría permitir a atacantes hacer que un administrador conectado cambie las opciones del blog como default_role, users_can_register por medio de un ataque de tipo CSRF

The Jquery Validation For Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 5.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the jvcf7 page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update arbitrary options, such as default role and users_can_register, via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
