Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NotificationX plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.8.2

Description The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the generate conversions() function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to generate conversions via a forged request if they can trick a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.8.2, consider disabling the generate conversions() function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to areas of the site where this function is used to minimize the risk of exploitation.
