Vulnerability Overview

The WP Post Styling plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.3.0. This allows unauthenticated attackers to change plugin settings, including potentially introducing malicious web scripts, by tricking an administrator into performing an action, such as clicking a link.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.3.2, 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.
