Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Far Future Expiry Header WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.5

Description: The issue is related to the lack of a CSRF check when saving settings in the plugin, which could allow attackers to make a logged-in admin change them via a CSRF attack. This could potentially lead to unauthorized changes to the plugin's settings.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 1.5, update to version 1.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's settings page to minimize the risk of exploitation.
