Description

The Radio Buttons for Taxonomies plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.0.5. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the save_single_term() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to save terms via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

Affected products and versions

  • helgatheviking Radio Buttons for Taxonomies — Before 2.0.6
  • radio_buttons_for_taxonomies_project radio_buttons_for_taxonomies — Up to and including 2.0.5
