Description
The WordPress REST API Authentication plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.4.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'save_temporary_data' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to make plugin settings changes via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
