Descriptions

The Index Now plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.3. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'reset_form' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary site options via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

El complemento Index Now para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Request Forgery en todas las versiones hasta la 2.6.3 incluida. Esto se debe a una validación nonce faltante o incorrecta en la función 'reset_form'. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados eliminen opciones arbitrarias del sitio mediante una solicitud falsificada, siempre que puedan engañar al administrador del sitio para que realice una acción como hacer clic en un enlace.
