WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

WordPress Hosting Benchmark tool < 1.3.7 - Cross-Site Request Forgery via execute_plugin()

Description

The WordPress Hosting Benchmark tool plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.3.6. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the execute_plugin() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the plugin's settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
