Descriptions

The Herd Effects WordPress plugin before 5.2.7 does not have CSRF checks in some bulk actions, which could allow attackers to make logged in admins perform unwanted actions, such as deleting effects via CSRF attacks

El complemento Herd Effects de WordPress anterior a 5.2.7 no tiene comprobaciones CSRF en algunas acciones masivas, lo que podría permitir a los atacantes hacer que los administradores que han iniciado sesión realicen acciones no deseadas, como eliminar efectos mediante ataques CSRF.

The Herd Effects – fake notifications and social proof plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 5.2.6. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the mwp-herd-effect page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete effects via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
