Descriptions

The uContext for Clickbank plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery to Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including 3.9.1. This is due to missing nonce validation in the ~/app/sites/ajax/actions/keyword_save.php file that is called via the doAjax() function. 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 uContext for Clickbank para WordPress es vulnerable a un ataque de tipo Cross-Site Request Forgery a Cross-Site Scripting en versiones hasta 3.9.1 incluyéndola. Esto es debido a una falta de comprobación de nonce en el archivo ~/app/sites/ajax/actions/keyword_save.php que es llamado por medio de la función doAjax(). Esto hace posible a atacantes no autenticados modificar la configuración del plugin e inyecten scripts web maliciosos por medio de una petición falsificada que puede engañar al administrador del sitio para que lleve a cabo una acción como hacer clic en un enlace.
