Nextend Facebook Connect <= 1.5.8 - Cross-Site Request Forgery
Strategic Overview
<= 1.5.8N/AVulnerability Overview
The Nextend Facebook Connect plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.5.8. This is due to missing nonce validation on the store_settings() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugins settings and inject malicious web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
