Vulnerability Overview

The Multi-column Tag Map plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to a missing nonce check on the sc_mcTagMap_plugin_options() function in versions up to, and including, 17.0.26. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's setting, via a forged request granted they can trick the site's administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 17.0.27, 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.
