What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Sync Feedly plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the crsf_cron_job_func function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger content synchronization from Feedly, potentially creating multiple posts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

An attacker can craft a malicious webpage that, when visited by a logged-in user, performs unwanted actions on their behalf. The vulnerability requires user interaction—the victim must visit the attacker's page while authenticated. No data is exposed, but the attacker can modify settings or trigger unintended operations.
