Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Categorify plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.7.4

Description The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the categorifyAjaxClearCategory function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to clear categories 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, 1.0.7.4, update to a version that includes the fix for the missing or incorrect nonce validation on the categorifyAjaxClearCategory function. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the categorifyAjaxClearCategory function until a patch is available.
