Description

The Name Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.25.3. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation when editing, deleting or naming directories. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger the above actions via forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
