Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Paid Memberships Pro plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.4.2

Description The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the pmpro page save() function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to save pages 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, 2.4.2, consider disabling the pmpro page save() function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to sensitive pages and ensure that site administrators are cautious when clicking on links from untrusted sources. Update to a version later than 2.4.2 when available.
