What the vulnerability does
The SEATT: Simple Event Attendance plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.0. This is due to missing nonce validation on the event deletion functionality. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary events via a forged request granted they can trick an administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

SEATT: Simple Event Attendance versions 1.5.0 and earlier are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. An attacker can craft a malicious webpage that, when visited by a logged-in site administrator, performs unwanted actions on the site without their knowledge. The vulnerability requires the victim to visit the attacker's page while authenticated to the vulnerable application.
What an attacker can do
Perform unwanted actions on the site by tricking an authenticated user into visiting a malicious webpage.
Potential impact on your site
