Description
The Seraphinite Post .DOCX Source plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.16.6. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the saveSettings functionality. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugins settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
