Description

The CM On Demand Search And Replace plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.3.0. This is due to missing nonce validation on the ajaxUpdateReplacement, ajaxDeleteReplacement, and ajaxAddReplacement functions called via AJAX actions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to manage and modify replacements configured for the site, via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
