Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CM Tooltip Glossary – Powerful Glossary Plugin plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.2.11

Description The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing or incorrect nonce validation when saving settings. This allows unauthenticated attackers to change the plugin's settings or reset them 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, 4.2.11, update to a version that includes proper nonce validation to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the settings page to minimize the risk of exploitation.
