Descriptions

The Link Optimizer Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery to Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including 1.4.5. This is due to missing nonce validation on the admin_page function found in the ~/admin.php file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the plugin's settings and inject malicious web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

El plugin Link Optimizer Lite para WordPress es vulnerable a la falsificación de peticiones cruzadas a Cross-Site Scripting en versiones hasta 1.4.5 incluyéndola. Esto es debido a una falta de comprobación de nonce en la función admin_page que es encontrado en el archivo ~/admin.php. Esto hace posible a atacantes no autenticados modificar la configuración del plugin e inyecten scripts web maliciosos por medio de una petición falsificada concedida pueden engañar a un administrador del sitio para que lleve a cabo una acción como hacer clic en un enlace.
