Descriptions

The Advanced Search WordPress plugin through 1.1.6 does not have CSRF checks in some places, which could allow attackers to make logged in users perform unwanted actions via CSRF attacks

El complemento Advanced Search de WordPress hasta la versión 1.1.6 no tiene comprobaciones CSRF en algunos lugares, lo que podría permitir a los atacantes hacer que los usuarios que han iniciado sesión realicen acciones no deseadas a través de ataques CSRF.

The Advanced Search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.6. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the WPAS_Advanced_Search_extra_ajax AJAX action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete shortcodes via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
