Description
The DX Share Selection plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including 1.4. This is due to missing nonce protection on the dxss_admin_page() function found in the ~/dx-share-selection.php file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious web scripts into the page, granted they can trick a site's administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Affected products
- nofearinc DX Share Selection: before 1.5 — fixed in 1.5
How to fix
Upgrade to a fixed version: nofearinc DX Share Selection 1.5. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
