Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Autolinks WordPress plugin version 1.0.1

Description The issue is related to the lack of a CSRF check when updating settings and the failure to sanitize and escape input, which could allow attackers to perform Stored Cross-Site scripting against a logged-in admin via a CSRF attack.

Recommendations For Autolinks WordPress plugin version 1.0.1, consider updating to a newer version that includes a CSRF check and proper input sanitization and escaping to prevent Stored Cross-Site scripting attacks.
