What the vulnerability does
The Animated Pixel Marquee Creator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery via the 'marquee' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. This is due to missing nonce validation on the marquee deletion function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary marquees 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
Animated Pixel Marquee Creator versions 1.0.0 and earlier are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF). An attacker can craft a malicious webpage that, when visited by a site administrator, performs unwanted actions on the site without the admin's knowledge. The vulnerability requires the admin to visit the attacker's page while logged in.
What an attacker can do
Perform unwanted actions on the site by tricking an admin into visiting a malicious webpage.
Potential impact on your site
An attacker can modify site settings or content if an admin visits a malicious link while logged in.
Conditions required to exploit
Site admin must visit an attacker-controlled webpage while logged into the site.
