CVE-2021-24466
Last modified
CVE-2021-24466 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. The Verse-O-Matic WordPress plugin through 4.1.1 does not have any CSRF checks in place, allowing attackers to make logged in administrators do unwanted actions, such as add/edit/delete arbitrary verses and change the settings. Due to the lack of sanitisation in the settings and verses, this could also lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting issues. EPSS estimates a 0.41% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
