Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in QuantumCloud AI ChatBot plugin <= 4.7.8 versions.

Vulnerabilidad de Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) en el complemento QuantumCloud AI ChatBot en versiones <= 4.7.8.

The ChatBot plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 4.7.8. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the qc_wp_latest_update_check function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke this function via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
