Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.2.1

Description The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the admin page display function, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete or change plugin settings, import demo data, modify or delete Directory Kit related posts and terms via a forged request. This can happen if an attacker can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.2.1, update to version 1.2.2 to fully patch the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the admin page display function until a patch is available.
