CVE-2022-1780
Last modified
CVE-2022-1780 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The LaTeX for WordPress plugin through 3.4.10 does not have CSRF check in place when updating its settings, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin change them via a CSRF attack which could also lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to the lack of sanitisation and escaping. EPSS estimates a 0.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
