Vulnerability Overview

The LayerSlider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request forgery in versions up to, and including 6.2.0, due missing nonce validation on an unspecified function that makes it possible for attackers to trick site administrators into performing unwanted actions.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 6.2.1, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)) The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
