Vulnerabilidad de Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) en el filtro Andrea Landonio Taxonomy permite la Cross Site Request Forgery. Este problema afecta al filtro Taxonomy: desde n/a hasta 2.2.9.

The Taxonomy filter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.2.9. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the taxonomy_filter_save_main_settings() function.
