Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Process Steps Template Designer plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.2.1

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

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.2.1, update to a version that includes proper nonce validation for the save() function to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the save functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
