CVE-2021-4396
No known patch is available for this vulnerability.
The affected plugin has been removed from the WordPress.org directory (reason: Security Issue), and no patched version is being distributed through the official directory. If you have the affected software installed, you should uninstall or replace it rather than wait for an update.
Description
The Rucy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 0.4.4. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the save_rc_post_meta() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to save post meta via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
