Vulnerability Overview

The Social Slider Feed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in versions up to, and including, 2.0.4. This is due to missing capability checks and nonce validation on the 'showPageContent' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger feed deletion.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.0.5, 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.
