What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Woo Commerce Minimum Weight plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to and including 3.0.1. This is due to missing nonce verification on the settings update handler in edit-weight.php. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the minimum order weight setting by tricking a site administrator into clicking a link or visiting an attacker-controlled page containing a forged POST request.
