Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Featured Image from URL (FIFU) WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.0.1

Description The issue is related to the lack of a CSRF check when updating settings, which could allow attackers to make a logged-in admin change them via a CSRF attack. Additionally, due to the lack of validation, sanitisation, and escaping in some settings, it could also lead to Stored XSS issues.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.0.1, update to version 4.0.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the settings update functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
