Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FTP Access WordPress plugin versions 1.0 and earlier

Description The issue concerns a lack of authorization and CSRF checks when updating settings in the plugin, along with missing sanitization and escaping. This allows any authenticated user to update settings with XSS payloads, which can be triggered when an administrator views the plugin's settings. The attack can also be performed via CSRF against any authenticated user.

Recommendations For FTP Access WordPress plugin versions 1.0 and earlier, consider disabling the settings update functionality until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of XSS payload delivery. Avoid using the plugin until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
