WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Browser and Operating System Finder <= 1.2 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Settings Update to Stored XSS

Description

The plugin does not have authorisation and CSRF checks when saving its settings, allowing unauthenticated users to update them, which could also lead to Stored XSS due to the lack of sanitisation and escaping.

The original advisory mention a CSRF issue, which is incorrect, as unauthenticated users can exploit this themselves w/o a CSRF attack. Furthermore, v1.2 added a CSRF check, but is still missing capability check
