Descriptions

The Enhanced Search Box WordPress plugin through 0.6.1 does not have CSRF check in place when updating its settings, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin change them via a CSRF attack

The Enhanced Search Box plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 0.6.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on a function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update plugin settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
