Descriptions

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Tips and Tricks HQ, Ruhul Amin Category Specific RSS feed Subscription plugin <= v2.1 versions.

The Category Specific RSS feed Subscription plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.1. This is due to missing nonce validation on the category_specific_option_page function used to control plugin settings. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update plugin settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
