WordPress · Wordpress · CVE-2017-6819
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
WordPress versions prior to 4.7.3
**Description**
The issue allows for cross-site request forgery (CSRF) in Press This, leading to excessive use of server resources. This can trigger an outbound HTTP request for a large file that is then parsed by Press This.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 4.7.3, update to version 4.7.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Press This feature until the update is applied.
