Descriptions

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Muneeb Layer Slider plugin <= 1.1.9.7 versions.

The Layer Slider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.1.9.7. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the save_slide_ajax function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify slides via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
