Description
The Spam protection, AntiSpam, FireWall by CleanTalk plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 6.20. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the apbct_settings__update_account_email function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the account email via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
