WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Background Control <= 1.0.5 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Arbitrary File Deletion

Description

The Background Control plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.0.5. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on a function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
