Overview

The LBstopattack WordPress plugin before version 1.1.3 contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability. The vulnerability was discovered and publicly disclosed on September 29, 2022. The issue affects the plugin's settings functionality, which lacks proper security controls through nonce implementation (WPScan Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery) (NVD).

Impact
