What the vulnerability does
The Bigfishgames Syndicate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the bigfishgames_syndicate_submenu() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset plugin settings and update them 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

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 to the application.
What an attacker can do
Perform unwanted actions on behalf of a logged-in user without their knowledge.
Potential impact on your site
