Description

The Responsive Vertical Icon Menu plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.5.8. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on several functions related to the plugin's theme manipulation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke these functions, via forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
