Descriptions

The Seraphinite Accelerator WordPress plugin before 2.20.32 does not have authorisation and CSRF checks when resetting and importing its settings, allowing unauthenticated users to reset them

El complemento Seraphinite Accelerator de WordPress anterior a la versión 2.20.32 no tiene autorización ni controles CSRF al restablecer e importar su configuración, lo que permite a los usuarios no autenticados restablecerla.

The Seraphinite Accelerator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.20.31. This is due to missing nonce validation on the 'reset' case of the Init() function, the 'settImport' case of the _on_admin_action_act() function, and the OnInitAdminMode() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to save, reset, and import settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
