Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions YourChannel plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.2.3

Description The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the deleteLang function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to reset the plugin's quick language translation settings 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, 1.2.3, consider disabling the deleteLang function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of unauthorized changes.
