Description

The Zendesk Support for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.8.4. This is due to missing nonce validation on an unknown function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke the functions via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
