Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Woody code snippets plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.3.9

Description The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the runActions() function, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to activate and deactivate snippets 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, 2.3.9, update to a version that includes the fix for the missing or incorrect nonce validation on the runActions() function. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the runActions() function until a patch is available.
