Description

The Emergency Password Reset plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 8.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation in the index.php file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
