Descriptions

The MM-Breaking News WordPress plugin through 0.7.9 does not have CSRF check in some places, and is missing sanitisation as well as escaping, which could allow attackers to make logged in admin add Stored XSS payloads via a CSRF attack.

The MM-Breaking News plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 0.7.9. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on a function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
