WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Auto Prune Posts < 3.1.0 - Cross-Site Request Forgery

Description

The Auto Prune Posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 3.0.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'forcerun' action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger a prune via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
