Descriptions

The WPQA Builder WordPress plugin before 5.9 does not have CSRF check when following and unfollowing users, which could allow attackers to make logged in users perform such actions via CSRF attacks

El complemento de WordPress WPQA Builder anterior a 5.9 no tiene verificación CSRF al seguir y dejar de seguir a los usuarios, lo que podría permitir a los atacantes hacer que los usuarios que han iniciado sesión realicen tales acciones a través de ataques CSRF.

The WPQA plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, but not including, 5.9. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on some of its functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke these functions leading users to follow or unfollow others, via forged request granted they can trick a site user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
