Vulnerability Overview

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the Simple Sticky Footer plugin before 1.3.3 for WordPress allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) change plugin settings via unspecified vectors or conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via the (2) simple_sf_width or (3) simple_sf_style parameter in the simple-simple-sticky-footer page to wp-admin/themes.php.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.3.3, 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.
