Description
The wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.0.9. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the profile_cover_delete function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete forum users, via forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
