Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Affiliate Platform plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 6.3.9

Description The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on various functions, including the affiliates menu method. This allows unauthenticated attackers to delete affiliate records via forged requests, provided they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 6.3.9, update to a version that includes the fix for the missing or incorrect nonce validation issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the affiliates menu method to minimize the risk of exploitation.
