Vulnerability Overview

The My Category Order plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 4.3 due to missing nonce validation. This makes it possible for attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in a victim's browser granted they can trick a site's administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 4.4.2, 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.
