Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Password for WP plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.3

Description The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the get3 init admin page() function, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update settings and inject malicious web scripts 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, 1.3, consider disabling the get3 init admin page() function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of unauthorized updates. Avoid using the plugin until the issue is resolved.
