Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Auto Delete Posts WordPress plugin versions 1.3.0 and earlier

Description The issue is related to the lack of a CSRF check when updating the plugin's settings. This could allow attackers to make a logged-in admin change the settings via a CSRF attack, resulting in the deletion of specific posts, categories, and attachments at once.

Recommendations For versions 1.3.0 and earlier, update to a version that includes a CSRF check to prevent unauthorized changes to the plugin's settings. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's settings page to minimize the risk of exploitation.
