Severity ?
4.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Summary
The Keybase.io Verification plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.5. This is due to missing nonce validation when updating plugin settings. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the Keybase verification text via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Esto se debe a la falta de validaci\u00f3n de nonce al actualizar la configuraci\u00f3n del plugin. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados actualicen el texto de verificaci\u00f3n de Keybase a trav\u00e9s de una petici\u00f3n falsificada, siempre que puedan enga\u00f1ar a un administrador del sitio para que realice una acci\u00f3n como hacer clic en un enlace."
