WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

NewsPlugin < 1.1.0 - CSRF to Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Description

The NewsPlugin WordPress plugin is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery via the handle_save_style function found in the ~/news-plugin.php file which allows attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts, in versions up to and including 1.0.18.

Note: v1.1.0 Added CSRF to the affected function, but seems to be missing proper authorisation
