What the vulnerability does
The Like-it plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the likeit_conf() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update settings and inject malicious web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Like-it versions 2.2 and earlier contain a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability. An attacker can craft a malicious webpage that, when visited by a logged-in user, performs unwanted actions on their behalf. The vulnerability affects the site's integrity and confidentiality. Users should update to a version newer than 2.2.
What an attacker can do
Perform unwanted actions on a user's account by tricking them into visiting a malicious webpage.
Potential impact on your site
Users' accounts can be compromised to perform unintended actions without their knowledge or consent.
Conditions required to exploit
