Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Arena.IM – Live Blogging for real-time events plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 0.3.0

Description The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the albfre user action AJAX action. This allows unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's settings via a forged request, provided they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 0.3.0, update to a version later than 0.3.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the albfre user action AJAX action until a patch is available.
