Descriptions

The POEditor WordPress plugin before 0.9.8 does not have CSRF checks in various places, which could allow attackers to make logged in admins perform unwanted actions, such as reset the plugin's settings and update its API key via CSRF attacks.

El plugin de WordPress POEditor anterior a la versión 0.9.8 no tiene comprobaciones CSRF en varios lugares, lo que podría permitir a los atacantes hacer que los administradores registrados realicen acciones no deseadas, como restablecer la configuración del plugin y actualizar su clave de API a través de ataques CSRF.

The POEditor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 0.9.7. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the clean function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change plugin settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
