Wp Js Detect <= 1.0.9 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Plugin Settings Update
No known patch is available for this vulnerability.
The affected plugin has been removed from the WordPress.org directory, 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 Wp Js Detect plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.9. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the plugin_settings function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's notification text and CSS settings (wp_non_js_notification_text and wp_non_js_notification_css), injecting arbitrary content that is echoed unescaped on the frontend via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
