Description
The Mass Delete Unused Tags plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.0.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'plugin_mass_delete_unused_tags_init' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to mass delete tags on the site granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
