Description

The Simple Local Avatars plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.7.10. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the save_default_avatar_file_id() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to set the default avatar file via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
